Watch, read, act #Nakba77— Amplifying Palestinian Voices and Resistance 

The Palestinian Nakba is not a closed chapter in history—it is a continuous, living reality. Since 1948, Palestinians have endured a brutal system of settler colonialism, apartheid, and military occupation. This system inflicts daily violence and oppression, reflecting both the legacy of past atrocities and an ongoing genocide. At the heart of this oppression is the Israeli occupation, which actively perpetrates daily brutality. 

Today, Israel’s violations continue to escalate, brazenly defying the January 2025 ceasefire agreement. In the meantime, international law is ignored with impunity, while governments and institutions that claim to champion human rights continue to shield the occupier, fuel it with arms, resources, and trade profits, and vilify those who dare to speak out.  

As we mark #Nakba77 in 2025, we do so in the shadow of ongoing genocide—but also in the light of fierce and unwavering resistance. Palestinian voices continue to rise with strength and clarity, despite relentless militarisation and deepening humanitarian catastrophe. 

WILPF is committed to amplifying the voices of Palestinians who continue to endure and resist an ongoing system of occupation, apartheid, displacement and genocide. 

This year’s Nakba commemoration campaign (#Nakba77) highlights testimonies from Gaza and across Palestine, where Palestinian women and girls speak out about the devastating realities they face and continue to inspire us with their resistance.
