Next Wednesday, the Jerusalem Fund will commemorate International Women’s Day, which the world celebrates annually on March 8th in order to shed light on issues relating to gender and women’s rights, by holding a virtual discussion with Asmaa Abu Mezied, an expert in gender and economic justice, on the current realities facing Palestinian women.
Join us virtually to learn more about how Palestinian women and civil society are dealing with Israel’s ever-escalating occupation, how Israel’s attacks on Palestinian civil society organizations affect the implementation of the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) Agenda, the role of the international community, and more.

Her main area of focus is women’s economic justice through gendered economic policies, women’s rights in economic sectors, unpaid care and domestic work campaigning, inclusive markets, and feminist economics in fragile and conflict areas. Her work is published in different spaces such as Oxfam policy and practice, Development and Gender Journal, Al-Shabaka, and the World Economic Forum.
