PEN CANADA THE CANADIAN CENTRE OF INTERNATIONAL PEN LE CENTRE CANADIEN DE PEN INTERNATIONAL

PEN Canada defends freedom of expression for writers, journalists, and artists facing persecution, imprisonment, or censorship around the world. The organization documents human rights violations against literary figures, provides legal and financial support to threatened writers, and campaigns for their release. Based in Toronto, PEN Canada connects with international networks to amplify voices silenced by authoritarian governments and works to raise awareness about threats to creative freedom globally. Through advocacy, research, and direct assistance, the organization stands against censorship and supports those who continue writing despite danger to their safety and livelihoods.
