Who We are
The Palestinian Feminist Collective (PFC) is a body of Palestinian/Arab feminists primarily located on Turtle Island (the unceded lands known as North America).
We are an intergenerational collective of activists, organizers, practitioners, creators, thinkers, artists, scholars, healers, water and land protectors, life-givers, and life-sustainers. We are committed to achieving Palestinian social and political liberation by confronting systemic gendered, sexual, and colonial violence, oppression, and dispossession.
Through an anti-colonial approach, we center the political urgency of the Palestinian struggle. We resist the normalization of Zionist violence, oppression, and hegemony in all aspects of public and private life, including within feminist spaces. Our decolonial work centers a set of life-affirming principles and practices to redefine movement cultures that are rooted in transformative justice, healing, and creation. We are inspired by and borrow from past and present Palestinian, Arab, Black, Indigenous, and Third World feminist movements, thought and practice. We advance Palestinian feminism as a liberatory philosophy and practice necessary to create the world we want to live in.
