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, and this year marks our 23rd year of writing for human rights.
Every fall, to mark International Human Rights Day on December 10th, the campaign brings together people all over the world to help end cases of urgent human rights abuses.
We write letters to stop torture, halt executions, and free people unjustly detained—including prisoners of conscience—people jailed solely for the peaceful expression of their beliefs or identity.
We have heard over and over again from former prisoners of conscience, human rights defenders, torture survivors, and death row prisoners that letters and online actions by Amnesty International activists as part of Write for Rights saved their lives and gave them hope. We also have heard from current and former government officials that our activism can change the minds of decision makers.
Write for Rights 2024
Write For Rights is Amnesty International’s largest annual letter writing campaign and this year marks our 23rd year of writing for human rights. Around the world, people like you write letters on behalf of individuals who need urgent help, like Neth Nahara (pictured right) who was arrested solely for exercising her human rights, including the right to freedom of expression. Through the power of collective grassroots action, your letters will help convince government officials to free Neth Nahara, to free other individuals who have been unjustly imprisoned, and to seek justice for past human rights abuses.
