Wikimedia Community User Group Uganda/WikiForHumanRights 2022 in Uganda

WikiForHumanRights 2022 in Uganda will aimed at writing about human rights, environmental health, and diverse communities impacted by environmental issues in Uganda and around the world.

About: This is a global writing contest aimed at creating and improving existing articles on Wikipedia related to human rights and topics related to the triple planetary crises: Climate Change, Pollution and Biodiversity.

Duration: The writing challenge will run from; 15th April until 23:59 PM EAT on 15th June 2022.

Expectation and Theme

Wikimedians will learn about access to neutral, fact-based, and current information around our Right to Healthy Environment. The Right to a healthy environment is a legal right acknowledged by the UN, but also a way of connecting human rights and the triple planetary crisis we face: climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. As the UN Environmental Program highlighted: we need to make Peace with Nature, and human rights need to be at the center of the solutions.
