#BDS: On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women,Let our Motto be:No to Silence on Violence against Palestinian Women

On 25 November of every year, the world celebrates the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, which was adopted by the UN on 17 December 1999 to eliminate violence against women around the world and to urge governments and governmental and international organizations to organize activities to raise awareness of the magnitude of this issue.
In recent years, Palestinian women have suffered severely due to the violence they are subjected to du to the exceptional conditions they are forced to endure. They are victims of the crimes committed by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) which create for them harsh and cruel living conditions. Furthermore, they are subjected to the local community's violence, which is often a consequence of the IOF's brutality.
