Ongoing Jenin Incursion Since August 28, 2024

dear friends, As you know, the city and refugee camp of Jenin are currently experiencing a very intense Israeli incursion. A large part of the population is trapped in their homes in the camp under gunfire, explosions and very violent attacks accompanied by dogs attacking mothers and children. On the other hand, hundreds of families are deprived of food and basic needs. Now is the time to support our population. Not To Forget has always preserved its role in relief and is an address in the humanitarian aid. Not To Forget has always been there in the most difficult times and she will continue to seek the necessary funds to help her population within the camp. This is why we are asking you today. Many thanks in advance for your continued support for us.

As part of the 'Your Hands With us' feminist project for economic rights, a dialogue session was conducted by the young leadership group with women working in the informal sector. This project is implemented by the 'Not to forget' Association in partnership with Palestinian working women. The session is a result of a series of training received by the young leaders on the importance of raising awareness about the economic rights of women working in the private sector. The session included various activities, such as interactive exercises and discussions on women's rights. It emphasized the significance of spreading awareness about economic rights through educating about labor laws and the importance of obtaining rights for women working in the informal sector.

Feminist Project for Economic Rights

The project is implemented by the "Not to forget" Association in partnership with Palestinian working women. The lesson learned from the first year of the project emphasized the integration of economic awareness and empowerment. The goal was to attract women and girls to attend awareness workshops and teach them skills that would help improve their economic lives. For example, a 3-month training program on making handicrafts was conducted, followed by a final exhibition where products were sold. This initiative enabled three women to start working on electronic marketing for their products. Additionally, 15 girls were trained in nail care and grooming, which garnered significant interest. Some of them qualified to work in beauty salons or pursue independent projects.
