For International Women's Day, we are thrilled to highlight the voices of powerful Palestinian women who are breaking barriers and inspiring change. Join host Diana Buttu as she speaks with award-winning Palestinian American journalist Dena Takruri about her book, co-written by renowned Palestinian youth activist Ahed Tamimi, "They Called Me A Lioness: A Palestinian Girl's Fight for Freedom." In this compelling memoir, Ahed shares her courageous journey from growing up in the Palestinian town of Nabi Saleh to standing up against the Israeli military at just sixteen-years-old. With raw honesty and unwavering determination, Ahed's story serves as a testament to the strength and resilience of Palestinian women. Tune in to this episode to learn more about their incredible journey and how they're paving the way for the next generation of women activists.Thank you for tuning into This is Palestine, the official podcast of The IMEU!
