Bena’a project
"the rights of women and children"

With funding from the European Union, CARE International and its Palestinian partners are implementing Bena’a project “Empowering Palestinian Women–Transforming Communities”. Bena’a is a 36 month project, starting in January 1, 2008 and ending December 31, 2010.

The objective of the "Bena’a" project is to build the capacity of grassroots CBOs in order to ensure those women’s voices and interests are heard and incorporated in development strategies and in social, political, and economic decision-making processes locally and nationally. The "Bena’a" project is implemented in partnership with the Women Affairs Technical Committee (WATC) and the Women Affairs Centre (WAC), who are supporting ten CBOs working throughout the Gaza Strip.

In July 1st, 2009, CARE and its Palestinian partners through Bena’a project are launching a campaign targeting youth to combating violence against women and children, these visibility and publications have come as tools of targeting people to highlight the role of woman in the development process and emphasize the rights of women and children to a life with dignity.

5000 copies of the poster, 10,000 copies of the leaflets and 1100 bags will be distributed among the partners CBO’s and their communities during the campaign.

See Leaflet FACE, Leaflet INSIDE or the photo of the Bags.
