This collection documents the work of Alice Dahle, an AI-USA volunteer who was a founding advocate for and member of the organization's women's rights programs. Dahle began working with AI-USA in 1982. By the early 1990s, Dahle was promoting a greater role for women's rights in AI-USA's agenda. In the 1990s, she served as the Midwest representative to the first AI-USA Committee on Women's Human Rights, and attended the Fourth World Conference on Women in 1995 in Beijing, China as part of Amnesty International's delegation. Dahle's papers document campaigns such as Chains of Hope, Urgent Action appeals for women, Maternal Health is a Human Right, Maze of Injustice, which focused Native American women's rights, and the Stop Violence Against Women (SVAW) program, which ran from 2004 to 2010 and was one of AIUSA's major women's rights initiatives. In 2010 Dahle began co-chairing the Women's Human Rights Coordination Group, along with Tara Demant; Dahle currently serves as Chair. The collection is especially strong in visual materials (brochures, flyers), newsletters, and reports produced by AI-USA in their women's rights campaigns and includes handbooks and manuals for the practice of advocacy.
