You make an appeal to the authorities on behalf of the victims. It may seem like the authorities will not take the appeals seriously. But AI publishes updates about what has happened to the subjects of previous Worldwide Appeals and it is obvious that these appeals have made positive impacts on human rights. Even with the success stories though, much help is still needed. So, next time you find yourself surfing the Web, surf over to Amnesty International's website and contribute to the Worldwide Appeals program.
Every appeal counts.
