Silvia Hassouna has a BA in Intercultural Communication and is currently pursuing a Masters degree in Globalisation and Development Studies at Maastricht University. She was an intern at PIJ and is now writing her final dissertation about the impact of the separation barrier on Palestinian and Israeli civil society organizations.
The positive impacts of dialogue-based initiatives are undermined by the lack of
freedom of movement and unequal civil rights under the discriminatory system in
place.
