This policy brief was developed as a deliverable in the project “Fair Game: Theatre of the Oppressed for Youth Empowerment” funded by the European Union. It tackles the topic of bullying in schools and offers recommendations drawn from the field experience in Lebanon that focused on the methodology of Legislative Theatre to raise awareness on bullying in schools and advocate for better policies.
Based on interviews conducted with doctors, nurses and other frontline staff across West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza, the paper exposes how the stresses and strains of protracted COVID-19 response have compounded existing challenges of working in a health system already rendered fragile, fragmented and resource-deprived by perpetual occupation and blockade, to cause a deepening wellbeing crisis among the Palestinian healthcare workforce.
This briefing note summarizes key mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) considerations in relation to the
2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. The brief was last updated February 2020.
يقدم هذا الكتاب، بالنص والصورة، شهادة صادقة عن الكارثة السورية.
في روايات الأمهات المتضمنة في الكتاب ينضح الألم من بين السطور. ومن صورهن تلمع بارقة الأمل بالسلام رغم الحزن المقيم.
ويأتي هذا الكتاب تتويجاً لمشروع استمر لأكثر من سنة قام خلاله عدد من أعضاء الرابطة وأصدقائها بلقاء عشرات الأمهات السوريات على اتساع رقعة تواجدهن في سورية، وفي مخيمات اللاجئين في لبنان، فجمعوا شهاداتهن عن مآسيهن وعذاباتهن خلال سنوات الجحيم الخمس الماضية. كما قاموا بتصوير الأمهات، إلا من اعتذرت عن ذلك لسبب أو آخر.
”أمهات سوريات“، شهادة عن الذاكرة الكليمة والأمل المتسامي على الموت.
