It’s a time of new beginnings at Amnesty International, with Kumi Naidoo taking over as our new Secretary General in the summer – and he has answered some of your questions on his vision for the future. This year there’s also a new focus for our Write for Rights campaign, which for the first time in its 16-year history is solely covering cases on women. From Kenya to Viet Nam and Kyrgyzstan to Venezuela, Write for Rights 2018 features 10 brave females who have faced human rights violations, threats, discrimination and violence as a result of their work as human rights defenders.
