Letter Writing International Campaign
Write for Rights, Amnesty International’s Letter Writing International Campaign takes place every year as part of the celebration of International Human Rights Day (December 10). We send appeals to the authorities and letters of solidarity to people whose rights are violated. The more letters we write, the greater the chance that we will be able to improve the fate of the individual. The marathon was founded in Poland in 2001 and has grown into the world's largest event in the defense of human rights - in 2018, over 5.9 million actions were taken worldwide. The results of the Letter Writing are visible IMMEDIATELY. Soon after, we receive a lot of good news - people are released from prisons, the authorities respond to our appeals, an unfavorable law is changed. The letters are a HUGE SUPPORT FOR INDIVIDUALS AND THIER LOVED ONES - they give them strength and hope in the fight for their rights.
