Palestinian women
Intisar al-Wazir is the co-founder and President of the General Union of Palestinian Women. She is commonly referred to as the “mother of the fight” due to her ongoing passion for the cause which has provided newfound confidence in both Palestinian and non-Palestinian women as membership numbers continue to rise. Due to COVID-19, domestic-violence and economic needs have risen exponentially, al-Wazir’s leadership has been sighted through her calling upon the Prime Minister to provide protection through legislation.
