What is Write for Rights?

Attend a Write for Rights event.

Join an event in your local community and take action for those whose rights have been wronged.

This year, Write for Rights will be our biggest event to date. We will be raising our collective voices to unite with the people at the heart of the event – the 10 global cases. We’ll deliver the signatures of everyone who takes action in Australia to Embassies in Canberra in March 2024 to pressure decision-makers to support their human rights.
