Wat is Write for Rights?

Wereldwijd worden mensen onterecht gevangengezet of bedreigd. Bijvoorbeeld omdat ze opkomen voor hun rechten. De Write for Rights-actie is opgezet om dit onrecht te stoppen. Elk jaar in december schrijven mensen overal ter wereld miljoenen brieven voor tien personen die onze hulp nodig hebben. Brieven aan autoriteiten om te vragen om een vrijlating, bescherming of aanpassing van een discriminerende wet. En kaarten aan de tien personen zelf, om hen een hart onder de riem te steken. Door de massale stroom brieven en kaarten vanuit de hele wereld zorgen we voor verandering voor deze mensen.
