Emancipation 20

Emancipation 20 (Coute-Stanhian: Emancipate 20, Neo-Foretanic: Emancipátio 20), often stylised as E20, is an international non-governmental organisation focused on protecting human rights, with its quarters in [].

E20 primarily works in post-colonial regions, where volunteers from the organisation provide humanitarian aid, finance the building of public services and help officials dismantle oppressive institutions, including slavery, and Ostrovia, where E20 members fight against ethnic bigotry, for LGBTQ+ rights, rights of political prisoners, refugees and other minorities.
