What are Quakers doing to change the world?
Quakers are active in the fields of peace, justice, world development, education,
homelessness, prison reform and working to challenge prejudice in whatever form
it occurs. In the past Quakers were involved in founding Amnesty International
and Oxfam, which have grown into international campaigning organisations.
Today we are involved in ‘Circles of support and accountability’, which
aims to help released sex offenders not to re-offend and integrate healthily
into society. We also actively lobby the United Nations on the introduction
of a ban on child soldiers. We hope these projects will, in the future, inspire
others into taking action.
