Amber Heard is a world-renowned actress and an outspoken advocate against discrimination. A Human Rights Champion for the UN Human Rights Office, she lends her voice and support to promote the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), which remains as powerfully relevant today as when it was adopted in 1948.

Amber devotes her time off-screen to organizations such as Amnesty International and Art of Elysium, and most recently returned from a humanitarian trip to Jordan to visit Syrian refugees.
