2015 ME058 Advocacy Initiative for Child Protection

Children in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) continue to be denied their basic human rights. 2015 saw an escalation of violence between Palestinian civilians and Israeli forces and armed settlers, while the arrest, displacement, detention and even killing of children all remain major issues. 2014 saw War Child undertake a major advocacy initiative to open dialogue with decision-makers over rights violations experienced by children and young people living in the occupied territories.
