We continue Write for Rights every year because it works – real change happens when ordinary people come together to take action. Since it began 22 years ago, Write for Rights has transformed the lives of close to 100 people. We are uniting with those who are courageously speaking truth to power. People like Uncle Pabai and Uncle Paul, who are community leaders from the Guda Maluyligal Nation in the Torres Strait, fighting to save their ancestral homelands from the risks of climate change. Activist Justyna Wydrzyńska, who has been convicted for helping a woman in a violent relationship access a safe abortion, which is a crime in Poland. And, in Brazil, Ana Maria who is bravely fighting for justice for her son, a vocal activist against police abuse who was brutally murdered. People power works! When we unite to promote and defend human rights, we can create a better world for ourselves and others. Now more than ever, your voice will join millions of others around the world as part of this event to put pressure on authorities to take immediate action.
