WILPF Week of Feminist Action Against Genocide in Gaza

The escalating situation in Gaza has reached a critical point; immediate and continued attention and actions are required. WILPF is spearheading a Week of Action Against Genocide in Gaza from November 9th to 15th to remind the world that Palestine is a feminist issue, demand an immediate ceasefire and call for a two-way arms embargo on the State of Israel.

We stand for intersectional feminism, freedom, human rights and justice for all. Feminist solidarity is our call and our tool to disrupt all forms of violence around the world. But a month has passed since October 7th and the attacks on Gaza continue … so now more than ever we must centre Palestine in our efforts to forge a path to peace built on nonviolence, equal rights and justice.

Bullying can be considered a form of harassment that is more frequent and systematic. It aims not only to violate the receiving party, but also to belittle them. Bullying is characterised by being targeted at a person or group of people, while harassment need not be targeted.
