The festival seeks to promote women's rights, challenge stereotypes, and provide a platform for Palestinian voices to be heard worldwide.
This groundbreaking festival showcases the immense talent of Palestinian filmmakers and provides an opportunity to celebrate the strength and determination of women from around the world.

! The fact that 'The Voice of Hind Rajab' is getting so much attention at just the right time feels like more than just a coincidence... I mean, we are still living in a world where women's rights and mental health struggles are SO underrepresented. But at the same time, I'm also worried about how long it'll take for this kind of festival to really start changing things on a larger scale 
. Can we make it a habit, you know?
. Hind Rajab's story is truly heartbreaking, but it's also an incredible reminder of the power of storytelling to inspire change and foster empathy 
.
. It's so important that we're creating spaces for these stories to be told and celebrated, especially when they're often overlooked or erased from mainstream narratives.
. It's a testament to the talent and creativity that exists within the region, and it's essential that we're supporting these artists and their stories.
. I'm definitely looking forward to learning more about the other films being shown and the impact that this festival will have on promoting women's rights and challenging stereotypes 
They got this documentary 'The Voice of Hind Rajab' that's literally breaking my heart 
but also super inspiring 
Hind's story is like wow she fought so hard despite having leukemia & it shows how strong women can be 
I'm all about this festival promoting women's rights & giving a platform for marginalized voices to be heard 
. I mean, Hind was just trying to live her life despite all the crap she went through 
. And now they're using Hind's story as some kind of rallying cry for women's rights? It feels like they're trying to cash in on her tragedy 
. I'm all for empowering women and all that jazz, but can't we talk about more pressing issues instead of just making a quick buck off someone else's suffering?
