Amnesty International’s mental health campaign, launched in February 2003,
has forged new and important directions for our human rights work. This is our
final report in a series of four issued throughout the year on the right to mental
health, and draws Government attention to the discrimination and exclusion
experienced by a range of communities that must be addressed. The purpose
of this report is to specifically highlight some of the most marginalised
individuals and communities, directing Government to further explore the
needs of these groups and to include them in the mental health agenda.
