Book
This book is an attempt to make children visible in an area where they are not normally seen or heard, namely in macroeconomics. No economic policies are “child neutral”. The book discusses the impact of general development strategies and macroeconomic policies on the lives of children. An introduction and a glossary have been added in the Arabic edition.

This study addresses the Palestinian legislations related to mental health or affecting it, among the population in general and youth in particular. The concept of "mental health", in its positive or modern developmental sense, expresses greater sensitivity to human rights and needs. It is increasingly present in the concepts of the international human rights discourse, mainly the right to self-development, respect of human dignity and child's best interest.
