■ Osaka Multicultural GROUP (NO.95)
G95 is the only English-language group in Osaka. The group consists of a diverse set of people of various ages, nationalities, experiences and interests who enjoy discussions on a variety of topics ranging from Human Rights issues to Advocacy and Outreach. One of our primary goals at G95 is to encourage young people to get more involved with Human Rights work. The group holds monthly meetings to discuss human rights, advocacy and cultural differences, and hopes to expand to organising events in the future.

■ Nagoya Multicultural Group (AINMCG) (NO.168)
The Amnesty International Nagoya Multicultural Group (AINMCG) was founded in August, 2019. We hold meetings in principle on the fourth weekend of each month. Our group's members come from numerous linguistic, gender, religious, and cultural backgrounds. Yet, all of us uphold Amnesty's core mission of defending human rights and human rights defenders worldwide, whether these are either social, civil, economic, or cultural rights. While our lingua franca is English, we are not necessarily an 'English Language Group'. We are open to all, regardless of first language, who fight for the oppressed, disadvantaged and discriminated against.
