Women 4 Women
Every October, we ask women in the UK to stand in solidarity with women in Gaza by hosting fundraising events throughout the Autumn or by donating to our Women 4 Women Appeal. So many people ask about this campaign all year round so we are more than happy for you to support this amazing work at any time of year.

Every year, to mark breast cancer awareness month (or Rosy October as it’s called in Gaza), we ask women to come together to do something they love, to raise awareness and vital funds to help the women of Gaza to access the breast cancer screening programme at Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City.
Past events have included coffee mornings, art exhibitions, gigs, Palestinian dinners, clothes swaps, exhibitions, gin tasting, marathons, interactive installations and church services. Just £60 provides breast cancer screening and support for one woman in Gaza.
Please help us help as many women as possible gain access to screening by making a donation to our Women 4 Women appeal here.

Screening is so simple and so effective — if we can work with women so that they can identify breast cancer early, we can treat it. We need to make screening normal for women and change traditional attitudes. At the moment too many die, they are scared that if diagnosed they will be shunned by their families. Suhaila Tarazi — Director of Al Ahli Arab Hospital, Gaza City

In conversation with: Raja Shehadeh
We are delighted to be joined by Palestinian author and lawyer Raja Shehadeh for this special interview and book reading on the 103rd anniversary of the Balfour Declaration. His book ‘Palestinian Walks’ first instilled in us a longing to walk in Palestine and was part of the inspiration behind our Just Walk To Jerusalem project back in 2017, when we walked to Palestine to apologise for the Balfour Declaration on its centenary.
