"Naila and the Uprising": The Enduring Power of Women’s Leadership in Palestinian Resistance Movements

Announced by the University of Pittsburgh

Join Just Vision for a special virtual screening and discussion of its documentary Naila and the Uprising, which chronicles the role of women in Palestinian resistance during the First Intifada. Through the remarkable story of Naila Ayesh and the clandestine network of women who led the largest nonviolent mobilization in Palestinian history, the film sheds light on the impact of women’s leadership in movements for justice. At a time when Palestinian women are once again at the forefront—organizing mutual aid, sustaining their communities, and leading resistance efforts—this conversation will explore their continued struggle and resilience.
