Gender, Justice and Security Hub Statement on Israel-Palestine
Gender, Justice and Security Hub members are horrified by the atrocious attacks and loss of life in Israel and Palestine. Our work documents the devastating long-term consequences that violence, conflict, colonialism and oppression have on individuals, families and communities, recognising in particular the effects on women, children and people with minoritised sexual and gender identities.
We condemn the crimes committed and call for urgent access to humanitarian aid for Palestinians in Gaza; an immediate end to collective punishment and the targeting of civilians; independent investigation of, and accountability for, violations of international law; and every effort to be made towards a durable and just resolution to the conflict, which must include ending Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine.
