In the first months after construction of the Israeli separation wall began, most national and international reporting about the wall focused on economic, political, security and social ramifications for the larger Israeli and Palestinian communities. There was a gap in analysis of the wall’s impact on marginalised and vulnerable members of Palestinian society, particularly the young. When Dr. Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian approached World Vision with the concept for her research, we were keen to support her focus on the impact of this wall on Palestinian adolescents, and in particular, the differential impact on girls.
World Vision publishes this report to encourage awareness and discussion about the impacts of prolonged violent and political conflict on the lives of children and adolescents. We consider it important that children and young people everywhere be able to express their views on the issues and participate in the decisions that profoundly affect their lives. In the context of this report, opinions and comments expressed by children and young people are their own, and views expressed by the author are the author’s own, not the opinions of the World Vision organisation. World Vision urges an end to all violence against children and young people – whoever the perpetrator, whatever the cause.
