Right now, the sexual and gendered violence Palestinian men and women face under the genocidal Israeli occupation is being reported on more than ever in modern history. This is not only a human rights issue, but also categorically a feminist one. Israel intentionally dehumanizes Palestinians by taking away their bodily autonomy, whether that be in the war zone, in their own homes, or in Israeli prisons.

The constant bombardments and assaults in Gaza have also impacted Palestinian women's ability to give birth, presenting another method of ethnic cleansing. Under the Israeli blockade, 1 in 3 pregnancies are miscarried — this is reproductive violence. Women's organizations everywhere should be platforming the Palestinian experience. True feminism involves accountability for human rights abuses at the hands of colonial violence, and reproductive justice means working to ensure that these crimes can never be committed again.
