Rights Arcade \u2013 Amnesty\u2019s first ever gaming app \u2013 is designed to strengthen the human rights movement through action-oriented education. The games will boost players\u2019 knowledge about human rights and encourage people to take action on human rights issues.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of Rights Arcade\u2019s key features is a self-paced approach that allows players to learn, reflect and take action at their own pace while navigating through the game\u2019s stories. <\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cThis game has been designed to empower and encourage people everywhere, but especially younger audiences, to learn about human rights in an engaging manner,\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/em>said <\/span><\/span>Agn\u00e8s Callamard, Amnesty International\u2019s Secretary General. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

The players take a human rights journey through the experiences of three real-life people: Ahmed Kabir Kishor, a cartoonist unjustly charged under the Digital Security Act in Bangladesh; Zhang Zhan, a citizen journalist sentenced to four years in prison for reporting about Covid-19 in China; and Panusaya Sithijirawattanakul, a student activist facing more than 25 charges for protesting in Thailand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game\u2019s stories, which are fictionalized experiences inspired by real world events, are driven by a player\u2019s choices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The player gets to play the role and navigate the experiences of the three central characters, making decisions based on their own understanding of human rights and unpacking how human rights concepts apply in daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People around the world will be able to access a collection of three games currently available in four languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Thai and Korean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rights Arcade can be downloaded on iOS and Android devices, ensuring its accessibility in regions with poor internet connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rights Arcade will be regularly updated to accommodate learning in more languages, and with new game offerings in the months and years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
