In this third episode, we are joined by Mr. Yasser, a Palestinian headteacher and his student, Ameer Awais, from al Sawiya al Lubban Secondary School in the occupied West Bank. They talk to us about the many obstacles Palestinian children face in accessing an education, and their hopes for the future of education in the occupied Palestinian territory. We’re also joined by two of our West Bank staff, Samer Ajaj and Ward Al-Deek, who both work to document and education-related violations of Palestinian children’s rights. DCI-Palestine Advocacy Officer Manar Al-Amleh translates.

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.
