Amnesty International encourages Letter Writing Marathon movement with a print advertisement copy called “Sharpen your pencil” every year.
If you look at the picture, there are pencils that show printed pictures of victims who suffer from violence and abuse.
It is impressive to express the point that the pain of people who are outside of human rights will go away when pencils are cut in order to use them.
On December 10th, Armnesty International continues a world sized campaign which is “Letter Writing Marathon” to celebrate every year.
With petitions from all over the world, they carry on the voices of people and it requires patience and effort like marathon. The letters can be huge support for the people who are away from human rights as much as its weight and length.
The beginning of Letter Writing Marathon
Two youths in Portugal were prisoned because they toasted for freedom
Members of Amnesty International had sent petitions voluntarily and this became the foundation of ‘Letter Writing Marathon’.
An idea of ‘Letter Writing Marathon’ is from traditional letter wiring which has been continued since 1961, and members in Poland suggest the idea in 2003. Now, more than a million of letters from over 50 countries are sent.
Working on 3 ways that promise a letter, act online and participate in letter night will be a big help for people whose human rights are violated.
I would like to be part of it as well. I think this would be a way to support the human right and people who have been in pain will be able to recover the right as there are many people who work for it.
I didn't know this meaningful event. I always appreciate people who try to acheive right things.
