** MEDIA STATEMENT
------------------------------------------------------------


** Sonke condemns the ongoing Israel and Palestine conflict
------------------------------------------------------------


** For Immediate Release
------------------------------------------------------------

As the tension between Israel and Hamas rages on, at the centre of it is the plight of women and girls. Thousands of civilians have been killed since the beginning of the war, while many are left destitute. Sonke believes the United Nations must take a lead in resolving this conflict.

"This conflict can never be resolved through war. We call upon the United Nations to do right thing to protect people of Palestine from genocide perpetrated by Israeli regime and supported by the American government. Women and girls unfortunately bear the brunt of such conflict as they find themselves in the crossfire. We urge all protagonists to consider a negotiated settlement that will have a lasting solution for the region and ensure that no human lives are lost needlessly." said Bafana Khumalo, Co-Executive Director of Sonke Gender Justice and Co-Chairperson of the Global MenEngage Alliance.

Sonke hopes that all countries will provide the much needed humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza at this time.
