Every October, we ask women in the UK to stand in solidarity with women in Gaza by hosting fundraising events throughout the Autumn or by donating to our Women 4 Women Appeal. So many people ask about this campaign all year round so we are more than happy for you to support this amazing work at any time of year.

Every year, to mark breast cancer awareness month (or Rosy October as it’s called in Gaza), we ask women to come together to do something they love, to raise awareness and vital funds to help the women of Gaza to access the breast cancer screening programme at Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City.
Past events have included coffee mornings, art exhibitions, gigs, Palestinian dinners, clothes swaps, exhibitions, gin tasting, marathons, interactive installations and church services. Just £60 provides breast cancer screening and support for one woman in Gaza.
Please help us help as many women as possible gain access to screening by making a donation to our Women 4 Women appeal here.

Screening is so simple and so effective — if we can work with women so that they can identify breast cancer early, we can treat it. We need to make screening normal for women and change traditional attitudes. At the moment too many die, they are scared that if diagnosed they will be shunned by their families. Suhaila Tarazi — Director of Al Ahli Arab Hospital, Gaza City

Amos Trust works alongside a wide variety of partners to promote equal rights for Palestinians, to campaign against Israel’s apartheid policies and to call for an end to the military occupation of the Palestinian territories. We seek to find creative ways to raise awareness, educate and challenge stereotypes by communicating the message and experiences of our partners and friends in the different areas within which we work.
“Entering the Old City is a wonderful induction into Palestinian food and markets. Women from the surrounding villages sell fresh produce on the steps, the aroma of cardamom-infused coffee from street vendors hangs in the air.” Gemma Bell and Heather Masoud take us on a journey to the markets, restaurants and kitchens of Palestine.

“I gave myself ten months to do it but gave up, defeated after four, admitting this would never be a popular fundraiser and that I was no runner. So Run The Wall was shelved.” Katie Hagley writes about how, eventually, Run The Wall became such a success.
Hello. Are you sitting comfortably? Welcome to 6 Stories, a literary update on our work from around the world. As the writer, James Joyce once said, “in the particular is contained the universal.” For what is given as being uniquely ours is often what we most have in common with every other person on this planet.
When I was a child, one of our neighbours in Gaza was a TV journalist, and she would let me wear her press vest. There I was, in a too-large navy-blue vest, holding the pestle that my mother used for crushing spices like a microphone, pretending to read the news from an Al-Jazeera news ticker. I would always end the ‘report’ by identifying myself as the Palestinian press icon: “Shireen Abu Akleh, Al Jazeera, The Occupied Jerusalem.” Walaa Sabah from We Are Not Numbers in Gaza writes about the killing of Palestinian journalist, Shireen Abu Akleh.
