OneVoice Announces New Gaza Headquarters

After months of preparations, planning, and grassroots work, OneVoice is proud to officially announce its new Gaza office, opened in the late fall of 2006.

In the past, OneVoice Palestine conducted activities in Gaza through its West Bank office. However, the increased restrictions on people’s movement between the West Bank and Gaza often prevented our Ramallah-based staff and activists from traveling to Gaza, making it necessary for the movement to redouble its efforts and deepen its activism in order to advance its mission of ending the conflict through a two-state solution.

Amidst a challenging situation on the ground, the opening of the Gaza office will enable OneVoice Palestine to further its outreach and broaden its youth leadership development program to highlight the imperative of civic society’s non-violent but assertive engagement toward ending the occupation. Gaza’s team includes:

• [Name Withheld for Security Purposes] OneVoice Gaza Executive Director

• [Name Withheld for Security Purposes] OneVoice Gaza Director for Leadership Development

• [Name Withheld for Security Purposes] OneVoice Gaza Executive Secretary

The new office has faced many challenges, but the staff is dedicated and determined to carry out the OneVoice mission in Gaza.

Hi, first of all, I would like to say congratulations. I am Ramzi from Gaza,I have heard about the One Voice movement from a friend in Jerusalem. And she told me an office will be soon opened in Gaza.Actually I have been waiting for this to happen so as to join the movement. I believe peace can first happen at the people level, and if we (people of Palestine and Israel) did it. Our Politicians won't help not making it happen.

I would like to know now where in Gaza is the headquarters, hope those directing the website can help me know where it is...

Best regards.

Ramzi
