Challenge.
Write for Rights For 10 days, from December 4th to December 13th, hundreds of thousands of Amnesty International supporters and activists worldwide will participate in ‘Write for Rights.’ They will sign petitions, write letters, send emails, text messages, and post on social media to demand the release of activists imprisoned for peacefully expressing dissenting opinions. They will also seek justice for individuals who have been victims of torture or other human rights abuses.
Idea.
In the 2009 edition, a participatory website was created where internet users could take action online (post messages of solidarity to individuals, sign petitions, etc.), engage in direct dialogues with people in danger or their relatives invited by Amnesty International, download an action kit to participate in the event with family, at work, or with friends. The public could join Amnesty International for the long term and continue to follow the situations of the individuals for whom they took action.
