context_page_description: The Global Campaign to Return to Palestine is an umbrella organization for NGOs that support the Palestinian cause, both in the Arab region and the world, and has representatives and partners in over 45 countries around the world to set up events and movements to advocate the Palestinian cause and specially the right of return
context_section_description: The Global Campaign to Return to Palestine has chosen 15 May as a central occasion to commemorate each year under the name "The Day of Return". On this day the Campaign evokes the Palestinian catastrophe (An-Nakba 1948) and what have occurred during it; the horrible massacres, the oppression and persecution of Palestinians, and the land confiscations which resulted in the displacement of more than 840000 Palestinians from their homeland (out of 1.4 million Palestinians at that time).
  Events, conferences, protests, and movements were organized in affiliation with our friends and sister organizations around the world for the commemoration of the "Day of Return". The Campaign’s main focus was on the replacement of the term "Nakba" (catastrophe) by "Day of Return" in an attempt to build a new approach for the occasion that is rather optimistic and triumphant than tragic.
  The Campaign also organized a ‘promotional campaign’ within which flashes about the "Nakba" and return were filmed and distributed to TV channels in several languages, in addition to posters that were displayed on billboards in different countries and languages.
