Story of Change: Supporting Advocacy to Abolish the Death Penalty

This Story of Change focuses on the work of Reprieve in Malawi and the tailored approach adopted towards the abolition of the death penalty. It describes Reprieve’s work to effectively advocate and change public opinion on the abolition of the death penalty, with the result that an Abolition Bill is expected to be passed. The Malawian process serves as a model for other countries in Eastern and Southern Africa.

“… the impact on families is the most powerful story to impact people. MPs who were not convinced of arguments against the death penalty saw the human face of it through personal stories and did move crucial steps in the debate.”
