On the occasion of the 

Palestine Child’s Day

We invite you to a 

Global Symposium

Not Another Child

An initiative of Doctors Against Genocide (Not Another Child, Not Another Hospital),
in partnership with the Palestine-Global Mental Health Network, will host this webinar.

Every child has the right to life, to safety, to a future.
In Palestine, those rights are being stripped away—relentlessly and deliberately.

As part of the (Not Another Child, Not Another Hospital) campaign, Doctors Against Genocide (DAG) and the Palestine-Global Mental Health Network invite you to a global symposium that brings together world-renowned human rights defenders, healthcare professionals, and scholars to confront the ongoing genocide of Palestinian children, the destruction of Gaza’s healthcare system, and the urgent need for global action.

Not Another Child is a moral imperative and a promise.
It is Doctors Against Genocide and Palestine-Global Mental Health Network’s call to the global medical and human rights communities to reject silence, challenge complicity, and protect the lives and dignity of every Palestinian child and every child around the world. 

Featured Speakers (in alphabetical order):

  • Dr. Yasser Abu Jamei, Director General, Gaza Community Mental Health Programme; Co-founder, Palestine-Global Mental Health Network
