Fact sheet entitled: “The role of women in the popular movement in Jerusalem”

Overview:

• Palestinian women were able to transcend social and national work within specific feminist frameworks to employ new and advanced resistance tools with which they proved their strength and courage.

• Palestinian women have a pivotal role in the popular struggle and movement side by side with men since the British Mandate through the Nakba in 1948 and the subsequent setback and uprisings, and the uprising of Jerusalem that erupted since 2011 and continues until now.
