About Write for Rights

Every year, to mark human rights day on December 10, hundreds of thousands of individuals around the world write a letter and sign a petition in support of people whose basic human rights have been attacked— people they never even met.

These messages help convince government officials to release people imprisoned for expressing their opinion, support human rights defenders, stop torture, and end other human rights abuses.

WRITE FOR RIGHTS WORKS.

Because of the effort of hundreds of thousands of people like you; through the Write for Rights, people have been freed, laws have been passed, and abusers have been made accountable.

Every time you share Write for Rights stories
or ask people to sign a petition,

we’re one step closer.

EVERY LETTER, EACH SIGNATURE ADDS UP TO MAKE POSITIVE AND MEANINGFUL CHANGE HAPPEN.
