Jenin, december 2024 : continuing the work despite the war
During our exchange on December 17, 2024, Mayssoun Dawoud, head of Jenin's Observatory of Violence against Women, testified
Palestine is under constant military attack by the Israeli armed forces, described as “acts of genocide” by Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories. In Jenin in the West Bank, the situation is dramatic: schools closed, stores at a standstill, soldiers omnipresent in the streets. The population, plunged into fear and precariousness, is bearing the full brunt of the economic and psychological consequences of the conflict.
During our exchange on December 17, 2024, Mayssoun Dawoud, head of Jenin’s Observatory of Violence against Women, testifies:
Faced with this reality, the Observatory remains mobilized to support the population, especially women and children, who are the most vulnerable in wartime.
- Stress and fear management sessions organized for traumatized children,
- Psychological support for families in distress,
- Maintaining essential activities despite closures.
We salute the work of the Jenin Observatory which, through its commitment, embodies a space of security and solidarity in a context of war.
