Every day, countless writers are detained, harassed, persecuted or even killed for the practice of their profession. We will not let their voices be silenced.

We raise awareness of their cases, campaign against abuses and lobby governments for imprisoned writers’ release. We demand investigations into cases of torture, disappearances, and killings. We show solidarity, provide encouragement and hope to persecuted writers and their families. By harnessing the power of our members and supporters, we work for a world where the right to freedom of expression is respected everywhere.
