Join us for an online screening of 'Caging Children:Palestinian Children in Israel’s Military Detention System' followed by a debriefing and question and answer with Shaina Low, the Advocacy Officer with Defense of Children International: Palestine. We will then take some time in small groups to write letters to our Member of Parliament (MP).

Caging Childhood: Palestinian Children in Israel’s Military Detention System is a short documentary that shares the stories of three Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank and their experiences being detained, interrogated, prosecuted, and imprisoned in the Israeli military detention system.
