Stop military detention of Palestinian children
Take action: Stand in solidarity with Palestinian children whose futures are threatened by arbitrary detention.
Embrace's campaign ‘Childhood Behind Bars’, calls on the UK government to put pressure on Israel to end military child detention in the West Bank, and also address the root cause of it – the occupation.
Our local partners in the West Bank work directly with child ex-detainees and witness first-hand the detrimental impact of child detention on the children, their families and wider society. The UK government must put pressure on Israel to stop the systematic detention of Palestinian children.
No child should be arbitrarily detained and treated inhumanely. Together, we can take collective action to put an end to these practices. Will you join us?
