Growing Up Under Curfew: Safeguarding the basic rights of Palestinian children

This report focuses on the rights of children in the occupied Palestinian Territories. Save the Children recognises that the current conflict also results in significant loss of rights for Israeli children. This is however, beyond the scope of this report. This report gives Palestinian children the opportunity to speak out about their daily experiences and hopes for the future. It examines the rights of children in the Palestinian context and, through the testimonies of Palestinian children, parents and professionals, looks at the impact on children’s lives. It presents recommendations for action to all parties in the protection of children’s rights in Palestine: the Government of Israel, the Palestinian Authority, the International Community, including the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, and civil society.
