Hind Rajab has become the icon of the murdered childhood of Gaza. Her mother, Wessam, carries her story with dignity and tenderness.
The #HindRajabFoundation bears her name as a living commitment to that legacy.
Hind’s voice lives on, soft, powerful and impossible to ignore.

@mrjamesob @LBC #Austerity directly increases the number of children taken into care (see research below). The flooded services dilute the care available.

Children taken away from parents who cannot support them. In the UK. Happening now. This research by @davara_bennett from @LivUniPH hurts. @UKLabour has to act. @CPAGUK @ChildhoodTrust @prospect_clark
