A network of young people and women for democracy
Palestine, which has been subjected to a military occupation for many years, is living one of the most dramatic phases in its recent history. In spite of that, the Country offers many development opportunities, and over half of its population is made up of young people, eager to participate in the construction of a more fair and impartial society. That’s why COSPE is in the front line, beside Palestinian women and young people. In particular, the project aims to create two joint assemblies made up of representatives of local authorities and civil society, improving the life conditions of rural communities as well. But COSPE’s commitment goes beyond that: in fact, the project promotes a series of training courses for young people and women on the themes of human rights and gender equity as well, aiming to strengthen the awareness of new generations and restoring real hope for the Country’s future.
With your precious contribution you can actively participate in this change, financing several training courses for 750 young people and women on the theme of human rights and gender rights and the launch of a contest among 45 young entrepreneurs, to develop an innovative and productive idea. Support young people and women from Palestine, your help can make the difference!
