Post Campaign Editorial: ‘Shofoo bi Oyouni’ (See Through My Eyes)

The ‘Shofoo bi Oyouni’ (See Through My Eyes) campaign, spearheaded by The Palestinian Network for Early Childhood Development and Juzoor for Health and Social Development in collaboration with The Moving Minds Alliance (MMA), Arab Network for Early Childhood (ANECD), and AMNA, has illuminated the human toll of the Gaza war while showcasing the resilience of children amidst adversity. Running from November 25-29, 2024, this initiative amplified the voices of Gaza’s children, offering a poignant reminder that the repercussions of war extend beyond the cessation of hostilities.

The campaign’s launch featured a comprehensive op-ed that delved into critical issues facing Gaza’s children, including mental health, education, disability, and trauma. It advocated for immediate action, calling for a ceasefire, increased funding of local organizations, unimpeded humanitarian aid delivery, infrastructure reconstruction, and long-term psychological support programs.

Dissemination of the campaign’s message was widespread, leveraging both mainstream and social media platforms. The campaign gained significant traction when the co-editors of “Daybreak in Gaza” shared it with their global network, recognizing the synergy between their work and the campaigns goals.
