Reviving Third World Feminism: A Struggle for a Liberated Future


Download Article

ABSTRACT

This International Working Women’s Day (IWWD), the Palestinian Feminist Collective (PFC) continues to center Palestinian resistance and sumoud (steadfastness) as the north star of our political vision and the feminist program it yields. For us, sumoud is the revolutionary existence of Palestinians enacted through resilience, defiance, and devotion to total liberation. In this forum piece, we aim to share the importance of IWWD for all anti-imperialist people of conscience, including feminists fighting empire, and how we in the PFC seek to uphold these values and praxis in our work.
