As members of EMDR Association UK, we have submitted a letter urging the Executive Board to condemn the ongoing atrocities in Gaza, especially the devastating impact on children. Our letter urges the Association to speak out and uphold its ethical responsibilities.
The open letter is below. It is open for signature by EMDR therapists and you can add your name by writing to EMDRTherapists4Palestine@gmail.com

We met with the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Board before sharing the letter, and while we appreciated the Executive board’s eventual statement, we felt it lacked full recognition of the scale and historical context of Palestinian suffering. We recognise the constraints faced by charities around political neutrality but we believe human rights violations must be publicly condemned. We call for an immediate ceasefire, an end to the blockade, and urgent humanitarian and psychological aid. We stand with healthcare organisations on the UK-PALMHN website, calling for an immediate ceasefire and peace talks rooted in international law, to ensure justice and lasting safety for both Palestinians and Israelis.
