While the world has moved its eyes toward Iran and elsewhere, Israel’s indiscriminate attacks and killings continue in Gaza. At least 34,000 Palestinians have been killed of whom 70 percent are women and children. An estimated 6 000 of the women who have been killed have left 19,000 orphan children behind. The suffering and the long-term consequences are immense and those responsible for the ongoing atrocities must be held accountable.
Reports from Kvinna till Kvinna’s colleagues and partners paint a devastating picture of civilians’ struggles amid sustained attacks, with women, children and other vulnerable groups bearing the brunt of the crisis.
The Kvinna till Kvinna Foundation is one of the world’s leading feminist women’s rights organisations, working directly in areas affected by war and conflict to strengthen the influence and power of all women. We work closely together with more than 100 partner organisations in 20 countries to defend women’s rights, achieve gender equality and justice, and reach lasting feminist peace.
We call for women’s meaningful participation, leadership and perspectives in peacebuilding processes.
We call for women’s effective and equal participation in political and economic decision–making at all levels.
We advocate for the right of all women and girls to a life free from violence and call for their sexual and reproductive health and rights to be respected in conflict–affected contexts.
We call for increased and tailored funding for feminist and women’s rights movements to make them stronger, maximise their potential to be influential and push back against shrinking space.
