My name is Amal Mohammad Ismail
I'm a student at the Deir al-Balah upper elementary school
I'm 15 years old
The top human rights students from UNRWA schools
were selected to go on a trip to Holland
We met with judges, and visited some courts
We also met one of the most senior judges
She was a woman
We were surprised to find a woman in such a high position
And this inspired us to achieve something like this one day
In Gaza, we live under oppression
In other countries, people can travel anywhere they want
They live in peace. They enjoy their full rights
There is a big difference between them and us
Our goal is to help all the different parts of our community
To organise events and to promote
and encourage volunteer work in the community
To develop ideas, and to talk to people and help them
but also to learn from them as well
My dream is that Palestine becomes independent
and no longer under occupation
That we live in freedom, security and stability
That we live just like people in Western and European countries
where they enjoy these full rights, freedom, security and pride
All Palestinian children want to enjoy their rights
But not at the expense of others
We also want Israeli children to live in security and stability
and not be exposed to violence
We want to be just like everyone else
