My ex-wife was actually going to join Amnesty International (in France) until she went to her first meeting.
She was told (in no uncertain terms) that they were not there to "debate" or even "think" about different types of repression (her thing was the Muslim oppression of women) but simply to sign the petitions that the leadership put out.
She never went back.
Congratulations! Your wife is a treasure. Amnesty International has the same odour as the UN...IMO.
