The destruction of the health system in Palestine…

The right of all people to enjoy physical and mental health is unattainable in and gravely breached by genocide, which aims at the destruction of a group in whole or in part, including by deprivation of reproductive health rights which are integral elements of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action.

Side Event Goals:

• Draw urgent attention to the plight of Palestinian women and girls as a consequence of Israel's grave violations of their human rights, including their fundamental right to health.
• Amplify our demands to world leaders and the multilateral system to act in accordance with international law obligations to end the genocide in Gaza, to free all healthcare workers and to ensure access by the Palestinian civilian population to proper and adequate medical care, including reproductive healthcare for women.
• Discuss strategies for accountability given the well-established pattern of genocide and impunity with Israel's blatant assault on the right to health in Gaza and the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
• Hear from stakeholders actions that can be taken to promote transnational unity and international solidarity in support of peace, women's rights and gender justice.
