UN Women reports that Rafah now hosts 700,000 women and girls who have no alternative housing, and nowhere else to go. According to the most recent UN Women survey, 93% of the interviewed women expressed feeling unsafe, with over half reporting medical conditions requiring urgent attention.

The cost of conflict on women and girls is a known fact, but one that still continues to be swept aside, even accepted, as collateral damage.

In our work, we’ve witnessed the power of change when socially conscious people unite against unjust laws and unethical actions.

We stand with all people of conscience, both in and outside Singapore, to urge international organisations and those with influence in the region to act swiftly and decisively to stop the genocide in Gaza. Together, we can amplify the global demand for peace and justice.
