Join us as we honor the unwavering spirit and resilience of Palestinian women who have played a vital role in the Palestinian struggle for over a century. Despite facing incredible challenges, they have stood strong against Israeli occupation, apartheid, and genocide, while fighting for their rights and the advancement of women's roles in their community.

Be among the first to witness the stunning Palestine History Tapestry, showcasing a selection of embroidered panels that bring to life the rich history and culture of Palestine. This magnificent tapestry, comprising over 100 panels, was crafted by Palestinian designers and stitched by women in refugee camps across Lebanon, the West Bank, the Naqab, and Gaza over the past 12 years.
