Description

In response to the ongoing violence in Palestine, GAPS, together with Oxfam, Madre and WILPF, hosted Palestine is a feminist issue: a conversation on Women Peace and Security in Palestine. This episode is a lightly edited version of that March 12 2024 event. The conversation recognises how the genocide and conflict are forcing the international development and women’s rights sector to respond and grapple with current violence as well as the long-standing history of occupation and apartheid. However, approaches to the conflict have often contradicted the stated feminist values and commitments to women’s rights from states, multilateral organisations and civil society. The speakers are Bushra Khalidi, Palestine Policy Lead at Oxfam; Fionnuala Ní Aoláin, Professor of Law, University of Minnesota Law School and Queens University School of Law; Laura Varella, Disarmament Programme Coordinator at WILPF; and Maram Zatara, Advocacy Unit Coordinator at the Women’s Centre for Legal Aid and Counselling, based in Palestine. The conversation was chaired by GAPS Director Eva Tabbasam.
