Women empowerment is one of my big goals in life, that’s why March 8 is a very special day to me. This year my idea of feminism and empowerment is only derived from the wonder women of Palestine. Those who create life during a genocide and stand strong against injustice. You can’t be a feminist and ignore the struggle of Palestinian women. Those bleeding to death, mourning the loss of their innocent children, starving during pregnancy and postpartum, giving birth without anesthesia, searching for the pieces of their families under the rubble, losing their homes, wailing with pain, shivering in tents under the rain, experiencing periods with no sanitary supplies, screaming the truth while the world is silent, living in fear with the sound of bombing 24/7, having their careers and education on hold, growing up with no other choice but to be a super human to bear the savagery of a colonizer that derived them of every right. If you don’t stand for Palestinian women and every woman suffering in this world, then I don’t know what principles you support.
