Palestine
Palestinians live in very precarious conditions as a result of recurring conflict, the fragmentation of the West Bank and the blockade of the Gaza strip. Military operations destroy or damage homes and public infrastructures including schools. This situation forces many children to work to support their family. We protect children from exploitation and help them attend school or receive training. Our local team works to ensure that the justice system takes into account children's rights.
