About the project

The “WEQAYA: Strengthening Accountability to Affected Populations Through a Gender-Responsive and Inclusive Interagency Community Feedback Mechanism in the West Bank and Gaza Strip” project seeks to provide a free, accessible hotline service for Palestinian individuals. This service is designed to offer immediate support, assistance, and answers to inquiries via the Palestinian Working Women’s Society for Development’s toll-free number. The initiative ensures that this essential service is available to all members of the Palestinian community, with 24/7 coverage provided by trained counselors offering consistent, effective support.
