As the Zionist regime continues to wage its genocidal war on Palestine, there is a sense in the international community that opinion is shifting. Western nations have begun to talk about recognising Palestine and institutions are reassessing the benefit of siding with an oppressor. It's more important than ever to hear from Palestinians about what real solidarity looks like.

This month, The Palestinian Feminist Collective will release a statement on Third World Feminism. This statement will articulate the necessity to define Feminism within the frameworks of grassroots anti-imperial movements of the 50s, 60s and 70s. It will divorce the movement from Imperial Feminism, which by design, aids and perpetuates the dispossession and ethnic cleansing of Indigenous people , and the theft of their resources.

I spoke to Tara Alami and Yazan Zahzah about PFC’s mission and why we can’t separate Palestine from discussions of Feminism.

If you want to know more about PFC’s work, check out their website: palestinianfeministcollective.org and follow them on Instagram. They are also currently calling out for donations to the Middle East Children’s Alliance to provide shelter, food, clean water, medical and psychological aid and children’s programming to Palestinians in Gaza.
