Since October 2023, the world has watched in horror as a genocide has unfolded in Gaza and across Palestine. The situation in Palestine demands urgent attention and action, as the escalation of Israeli hostilities and the mounting attacks on Palestinians continue to grow in gravity and magnitude.
For over 70 years, Palestinians have been subject to human rights violations and abuses while living under Israeli occupation, as well as forced displacement around the region and world, with the inability to return. This is made worse through increased and unabated settlement construction, a decades long blockade on Gaza, apartheid policies and flagrant Israeli impunity in the face of ongoing violations of international law. These violations have a gendered impact and have disproportionately affected women and girls.
