Webinar | The power of information in Palestine

0
Since the expulsion of Palestinians from their homes in 1948 and the advent of military occupation in 1967, the rights of the Palestinian population have been increasingly eroded. The relationship between the two sides has evolved over the years, passing from moments of “relative calm” to others of great intensity. Despite the different degrees of tension in different moments of time, reality shows that Palestinian’s rights people have been steadily eroded and the possibilities to lead a dignified life forgotten. The international community’s response to this systematic violation of the most basic human rights has not been able to provide a stable solution to the problem, and the different negotiations that have begun have always ended in deadlock.

In this context, ensuring access to information and the ability of Palestinian journalists to communicate, is fundamental. Being a journalist, or an activist in Palestine is an issue that almost nothing is known about. What are their daily difficulties, how they live and how they report the daily reality, what are their objectives, what is the role of social activism, especially for the young population…

In this round table, we would like to propose a debate with the participation of Palestinian women communicators who will give us their points of view on the different aspects of this topic.

Moderator: Victoria Silva, Journalist and researcher specialized in the Middle East.

  • Mariam Barghouti, Palestinian-American writer, blogger, researcher, activist, commentator and journalist.
  • Asmaa Tayeh, Palestinian activist and coordinator of We Are Not Numbers programme.
  • Elia Ghorbiah, producer and journalist at Al Jazeera.
