Protect & Empower Women

Nora Carmi, the World Day of Prayer International Committee Regional Representative from Palestine in the Middle East, gives voice to the fight for the elimination of violence against women and girls during the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence Campaign.

My name is Nora Carmi. I am a Palestinian from Jerusalem who has worked for over 40 years as a community builder seeking to help and empower society through informing women about their rights and making sure that all conventions, pertaining to women, are not only signed but implemented in full. We can not claim gender equality unless laws protecting women and empowering them are enforced and all forms of violence and discrimination against women in Palestine, the Middle East, and the whole world ends in all aspects of their lives.
