As the world ostentatiously celebrates International Women’s Day, it’s a grim reminder of the stark contrast between the rhetoric of gender equality and the abject reality endured by women and girls in Gaza. While the global stage is adorned with slogans of empowerment and progress, the women of Palestine are left to grapple with the harsh and unrelenting realities of oppression, discrimination, and violence. Amidst the cacophony of self-congratulatory speeches and empty gestures, the plight of Palestinian women remains conspicuously absent from the narrative of progress. While the world applauds itself for inching closer to gender equality, the voices of those living under occupation, siege, and systemic discrimination are systematically silenced and ignored. The hypocrisy of the international community knows no bounds as they conveniently turn a blind eye to the suffering of Palestinian women. While lofty declarations of support for human rights reverberate across diplomatic circle

In a fateful encounter with the police, a tragic incident unfo

In a powerful display of solidarity and advocacy organized by B-Murals , a group of diverse artists came together on February 3rd to transform four blank walls in Barcelona (Spain) into a vivid representation of the Palestinian flag. Each wall, dedicated to one of the four colors of the flag, served as a canvas for artists to express their opinions on the relentless Israeli attacks on Palestine.
