WikiForHumanRights 2025: Our Rights, Our Future, Right Now
The aim of the #WikiForHumanRights campaign is to make sure that everyone has access to neutral, fact-based, and current information for a sustainable future that centers human rights, including topics like the Right to a Healthy Environment and other human rights.
This year’s campaign theme recognizes that human rights are not abstract ideals-they are the foundation for people’s ability to live with dignity today and to shape a fair, inclusive future. The WikiForHumanRights campaign therefore calls on Wikimedia communities to play a critical role in documenting and disseminating knowledge that empowers people to protect this right-especially where it is under threat. What are the rights that are critical right now in your community to create a sustainable future?.
The campaign focuses on community writing contests and events that will highlight the issues that matter most for your context: some languages and contexts will focus on the same theme as previous years, such as the Right to a Healthy Environment, and Knowledge for a Sustainable Future, while others will expand to look at other sustainability and/or human rights topics in their local context.
Temi principali:
There is an opportunity to approach the 2025 edition from two cycles, according to what’s important for context, whether climate change and sustainability or broad human rights topics. If your interest is on human rights, you might need to identify topics of critical importance in your context, such as rights to education, health, housing, and fair work, or even the human rights dimensions of displacement and humanitarian protection. For climate change and sustainability focus, local movements protecting land, water, and ecosystems, or environmental laws, or how mining, logging, or industrial agriculture impact local ecosystems, might be interesting for your community. In 2024, we focused on Knowledge for a Sustainable Future, where we created this topic list for reference a guide on identifying your sustainable knowledge topic gaps.
In 2021–2023, we focused on the right to a healthy environment and the Triple Planetary Crises including: action on the climate crisis, environmental damage caused by pollution, and biodiversity and human rights. You can find previous topic lists here.
