What is Write for Rights?

Every year, Amnesty International’s Write for Rights campaign brings together people from around the world to fight injustice and support people whose human rights are under threat. Over the past few years your actions have made a real difference to people’s lives. From Zimbabwe to Guatemala to Kyrgyzstan, activists have been freed and justice has been served.

This year’s campaign features people from around the world who are all connected because their human rights have been violated. By writing letters, signing petitions and sharing stories, you can demand justice calling decision makers to do the right thing.

Join this year’s campaign and become part of a community working to make the world a more just and compassionate place.

How can you get involved?

This year’s campaign features 9 inspiring individuals and communities. People like Joel Paredes who was blinded by rubber bullets at a peaceful protest in Argentina, or Manahel in Saudi Arabia, jailed for believing the rights of women were finally being respected.

Your actions have consequences – Neth Nahara, singer and activist in Angola who was jailed for criticising the President, has already been freed!
