Responding Together: Supporting Gaza and Lebanon in Crisis

This year, Synergy for Justice will send all donations from its annual campaign directly to NGOs in Gaza and Lebanon working to support people affected by violence and displacement. Your contribution will provide safety, shelter, and dignity to those most in need.

Israeli offensives in Gaza and Lebanon have displaced families, destroyed homes, and left women and children particularly vulnerable to violence and exploitation. Your support ensures that lifesaving aid reaches those who need it most.
By donating, you are supporting two trusted non-profit organisations vetted by Synergy for Justice:
- Center for Women’s Legal Research Counselling and Protection (CWLRCP) in Gaza provides shelter, essential supplies, and support to survivors of gender-based violence through the Hayat Shelter, the only safe space of its kind in the region.
- Basmeh & Zeitooneh in Lebanon, delivering essential aid, rehabilitating shelters, and preparing families for winter with critical supplies and psychosocial support.

Center for Women’s Legal Research Counselling and Protection (CWLRCP) in Gaza

CWLRCP is a local NGO committed to protecting women and families affected by violence. Amidst ongoing airstrikes and widespread displacement, CWLRCP urgently needs funding to:
- Cover transportation costs for safe access to lifesaving services.
- Maintain the Hayat Shelter and provide secure housing.
- Offer emergency medical services to survivors, including gynecological and obstetric care.

Basmeh & Zeitooneh in Lebanon

Since 2012, Basmeh & Zeitooneh has supported displaced families across Lebanon. With winter approaching, the organization needs urgent support to:
- Distribute winter supplies such as blankets, fuel, and warm clothing.
- Rehabilitate and maintain collective shelters to provide safe and warm spaces.

Together, we can respond to the crises in Gaza and Lebanon with direct action to support the most vulnerable people.

Synergy for Justice is a women-led, multidisciplinary team working to advance justice and end impunity for human rights violations. In collaboration with partner organisations, we ensure that survivors of torture and sexual violence can access justice, receive the care they need to heal, and fully participate in society.

Your tax-deductible donation to Synergy for Justice helps us to support local justice actors and connect survivors with essential medical and social services to help them heal and return to their communities.

As a mental health therapist I strongly support the work of Synergy for Justice because I believe in the mission to support those who have suffered from trauma and therefore struggle with access to basic human rights due to stigma or being silenced.

As a medical practitioner I support Synergy for Justice as a women-led organization rooted in the medical advocacy for justice and human rights.

As I attempted my first marathon in NYC on November 5th, 2023, I had an opportunity to raise awareness for Synergy for Justice, fundraise for the work they do, and, more importantly, for the countless generations of children who are in dire need of trauma recovery and justice.

Joyce De Coninck, Human rights activist

I am proud to support Synergy for Justice.  Its unique partnering relationship with local actors ensures that skills to collect and preserve evidence of torture and conflict-related violence are securely situated in the community, increasing ownership of justice and accountability processes.

Tejal Jesrani, Director

We are so grateful for all of the generous support for Synergy for Justice's programming in conflict-affected settings. Our work is of vital importance to our partners and because of the way we partner with them. Our aim is always to work in a sustainable and long-term fashion to provide actors on the ground not only with the technical support and guidance that they need to deliver justice for victims and survivors of international crimes, but also to help them grow and sustain their organisations so that they will be here for years to come. Thank you for your support.
