#OpenArtsakh
The Open Artsakh Campaign is a community-wide initiative driven by compassion, solidarity, and a collective commitment to address the critical humanitarian crisis in Artsakh. For over 300 days, Artsakh, home to 120,000 people, has been completely cut off from humanitarian access, an intentional and total ban on the transportation of food, essential goods, patients, and medicines. This blockade has brought the lives of countless innocent civilians to the brink of starvation and medical peril.
Goals and Objectives: Our campaign is dedicated to achieving the following goals and objectives:
- Demand the Opening of Artsakh’s Road: Our primary focus is to raise awareness and advocate for the immediate opening of the road between Armenia and Artsakh through the Lachin Corridor. We aim to put relentless pressure on international actors and the Azerbaijan government to end the blockade and restore vital humanitarian access.
- Provide Humanitarian Relief: We strive to create a global network of support to deliver critical aid, food, and medical supplies to the people of Artsakh. We aim to alleviate their suffering, ensure their basic needs are met, and restore hope for a better future.
- Amplify the Message: Through powerful storytelling, impactful visuals, and strategic social media engagement, we aim to amplify the campaign’s message to reach a wide audience. We believe that united voices can drive change and compel the world to take action.
- Foster Global Solidarity: We seek to unite individuals, organizations, and communities worldwide to stand in solidarity with Artsakh’s people. By fostering global unity, we can build a stronger and more effective campaign for lasting change.
- Advocate for Human Rights: Our campaign is committed to advocating for the protection of human rights in Artsakh. We demand that international bodies and humanitarian organizations take immediate steps to prevent any further escalation of the crisis and protect innocent lives.
- Create Awareness and Empathy: Our goal is to raise awareness about the humanitarian crisis in Artsakh and foster empathy towards the struggles of its people. We aim to engage stakeholders in thoughtful conversations to drive meaningful change.
Action Steps: To achieve these goals, we plan to undertake the following action steps:
- Launch Social Media Campaigns: Utilize various social media platforms to share impactful posts, videos, and infographics that highlight the urgency of the situation and call for action.
- Organize Virtual Solidarity Days: Engage individuals and communities worldwide to participate in virtual events, webinars, and more.
