PETITION IN SUPPORT OF 10 WOMEN IN HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDER CASES

[cid:image003.png at 01D47B9A.ACC44170]
Marielle Franco - Human Rights Defender Killed in Brazil

This year's Write for Rights cases are all women human rights defenders from around the world. Sign your name in support of all ten cases.
Atena is in prison in Iran. Nonhle is being threatened in South Africa. Marielle (above) was killed in Brazil. Each of them have paid a price for defending human rights in their countries. So have seven other women from around the world, each harassed and threatened for their peaceful activism. We can help them and their families by demanding change on their cases. Read more about them in the petition letter below.
Take Action: Sign your name in support of these brave activists, so that we can help free them, stop the threats and ensure justice. We will deliver a letter to the government responsible for each case with the total number of signatures, so that they see the strong public support for these human rights defenders.
