Our fearless Executive Director shares her experience on the frontlines of war-torn Gaza.
We condemn the horrific and senseless violence, bloodshed and homicide being perpetuated against the innocent people of Palestine - one year on and it’s getting worse, not better.
We again call on the Australian Government to urgently call for an immediate ceasefire in Palestine. As a nation that values human rights and the rule of law, Australia has a fundamental responsibility to advocate for peace and diplomacy.
Immediate action is needed to prevent further humanitarian catastrophe and to support efforts for a sustainable and just resolution.
The Government must use its influence in the international community to demand an end to hostilities and prioritise dialogue over conflict. ... See MoreSee Less

We are so proud of our indomitable Executive Director, Sally Stevenson, who is currently undertaking a 6-week humanitarian mission with Médicins Sans Fontières (Doctors Without Borders) in the heart of Gaza.
Sally is the epitome of ‘words into action’ and there is no way our Centre would have grown into what it is without that fierce passion and dedication to human rights, particularly women and children.
‘“The destruction is everywhere, as far as the eye can see, it is in the air we breathe,” Wollongong’s Citizen of the Year in 2023 said.
“What the Palestinian population in Gaza is enduring is, quite simply, inhumane.”
Stay safe, Sally. ... See MoreSee Less

Sally walks the walks Always She is a women of integrity and strength. So very proud to call her my good friend.
Sally Stevenson is incredible, I feel so fortunate to have been guided and mentored by her for the last 6 months - better than a 4 year university degree.
