Last Thursday, thousands of Palestinian women marched in twelve locations across Israel, the Palestinian Authority and the world to support women's rights after recent cases of gender-based violence against women in the Palestinian society.The murder of Israa Ghrayeb, a 21-year-old Palestinian woman from Bethlehem, which occurred late August, sparked a wave of protests across the Palestinian Authority and the Governance of the Gaza Strip. Following the murder, a Palestinian feminist campaign called Tal'at ("coming out") was launched and held under the slogan "Free homeland, free women" and "You cannot liberate the land without liberating the women."

The main protest took place in Israel's northern port city, Haifa, where Jews and Arabs, some of which self-identify as Palestinians, live side by side. The protesters marched through Haifa's lower city, near the port, chanting "[We want] freedom, dignity, and social justice." "From Beirut to Haifa, women are murdered in the streets and in their homes – it is time we protect them."
