The banner features two images: on the left, Palestinian flags being held during a protest in front of a white building; on the right, a person holding a sign that reads 'Stop War' in red letters, with a blurred crowd and trees in the background. The central text is in yellow and white on a blue background, with a yellow circle containing the phrase 'We Are Feminist Leaders'.

Voices From and For Palestine

During our Voices From and For Palestine: Building Feminist Solidarity online series, we are exploring thought-provoking questions with Palestinian feminist activists, academics, thinkers and allies:

  • What have been the gendered impacts of the violence in Palestine in recent times?

  • How are Palestinian women resisting?

  • What does feminist solidarity look like in this moment?

  • How have major historical events, including peace processes, shaped the identity of Palestinian women?

  • In what ways do imagination and creativity become instruments of healing, resistance and solidarity?

Each session provides space for storytelling, discussion, (un)learning, and connection, offering an opportunity to reflect collectively on these and other essential topics. Together, we are reimagining a world of shared empowerment and justice!
