Women are at the heart of every resilient community. In Palestine, they are not only sustaining families and communities through immense challenges, but also leading efforts for peace, justice, and social transformation.
Women of the Sun is a Palestinian women-led grassroots organization founded in 2021, in Bethlehem. It was established to amplify the voices of Palestinian women and strengthen their role in peacebuilding, community development, and decision-making processes. Over the years, the organization has evolved into a recognized movement working locally and internationally to advance women’s rights, nonviolence efforts, community resilience, and sustainable peace.
They envision a just, safe, and inclusive Palestinian society where women are empowered leaders in peacebuilding, economic development, and decision-making. All their work is focused on strengthening Palestinian women’s leadership, economic independence, legal awareness, and participation in peace and security processes at local, regional, and international levels.
