Over the last few days, we've welcomed about a thousand new Twitter followers—hello! Here's a little bit about what we do to promote and protect Palestinian children's rights. #StandWithThe6 (thread)
DCIP is the only local, independent human rights organization focused solely on the rights of Palestinian children. We were founded in 1991 and are celebrating our 30th anniversary this year.
We're a member of the global @DCIsecretariat movement, which has dozens of local chapters all over the world. All member organizations commit to promoting and protecting children's rights in accordance with international law.
It is Sunday morning, so I want to tell you about a young girl called Huma Younus.
Huma was a 14 year old Pakistani Christian. On 10 October 2019 she was kidnapped by 3 Muslim men from her family home. The police originally refused to take any action.

After her kidnapping Huma was forcibly converted to Islam and at just 14 was married to a much older Muslim man
Huma has failed to appear at court hearings and a local court actually said the marriage was LEGAL because Huma had started started menstruating

I am devoting this THREAD to #WorldChildrensDay / #UniversalChildrensDay, which is today.
My key message is that ALL children - #Israeli & #Palestinian - deserve better future, but Hamas & PA is preventing this. This is #NoWayToTreatAChild!
