9/19 Back to School in Palestine Amid Detentions and Demolitions

Tuesday, September 19, 12:00 PM EDT

Please join the #nowaytotreatachild campaign co-leaders from Defense for Children International - Palestine and American Friends Service Committee for this informative webinar

Children across the world, including in the occupied Palestinian territory, are heading back to school. But for Palestinian children, a safe, quality education is often out of reach. Israeli forces routinely detain, harass, injure, and even kill Palestinian children who are on their way to or from school. Schools in Area C, in rural areas like the Jordan Valley, are often located near Israeli military training zones, where Israeli forces fire live ammunition, tear gas, stun grenades, and other weapons interrupting students' education. And in the last few years, Israeli authorities have intensified their efforts to target Palestinian schools for demolition. Join this webinar to learn more about the issues facing Palestinian students and how you can advocate for their right to education.
