Gender, Sexuality & Anti-Colonialism in Palestine

This interactive training will critique intersectionality and examine gender and sexuality in relation to Palestine. By focusing on the roles of Israeli settler colonialism and Western imperialism in gender and sexual oppression, as well as looking at frameworks for resistance and liberation, this training goes beyond the pinkwashing framework to deepen our solidarity. Co-facilitated by Makan and partners from KOHL and co-developed with Palestinian scholars and activists.
