"Together, we can challenge systemic injustices, amplify marginalized voices, and create a world where everyone's human rights are protected and respected."
Letters to a Prisoner (Owlkids, 2017) is a wordless children’s book inspired by the Write for Rights campaign – created by Montreal author Jacques Goldstyn. The book illustrates the power of hope and the written word. The Youth and Activism Team has been actively collaborating with Owlkids Books to make this book freely available to educators and teachers in the Amnesty International community.
Letters to a Prisoner provides a fun and engaging way for young people (ages six and up) to participate in and promote human rights and the Write for Rights campaign.
Amnesty Canada has created Letters to a Prisoner: A Social Justice Toolkit for Communities & Schools to accompany the book’s content. This educational toolkit includes discussion questions and group activities for 30 minutes to 1 hour. It also includes resources framed around a case featured in the Write for Rights campaign.
