Israel is the only country in the world that automatically and systematically prosecutes children in military courts that lack fundamental fair trial rights and protections. In this episode, we discuss the process and context in which Israeli military detains 500-700 Palestinian children each year, and the global campaign to end this practice: No Way to Treat a Child. Featuring DCI-Palestine Advocacy Officer, Shaina Low, and Brad Parker, DCI-Palestine’s Senior Adviser on Policy and Advocacy.

Childhood Under Occupation is a monthly podcast about child rights and international law, illustrated through the stories of children living in the occupied Palestinian territory and the work of Defense for Children International - Palestine. Through interviews with experts, field researchers and children, the podcast offers a rare, immersive experience of the lives of children living under occupation, including those detained in the Israeli military detention system, and the work of DCIP's lawyers, field researchers and advocacy staff to protect their rights.

This podcast is produced by Defense for Children International - Palestine.
