Dear Joan
CHIFA could certainly be involved in an advocacy project through its members, particularly if around child rights as is the case in Gaza. But adults would not be within CHIFA's remit.
I think it would be valuable to hear suggestions from Dana as to the kind of action by CHIFA members and others which might produce results. I am also wondering if ISPCAN could be invited to participate in this.
