Nabila Espanioly will be speaking about the multiple challenges facing Palestinian women, within a patriarchal society, under occupation, and with the additional pressures created by the pandemic. (See below for links that relate to the experiences of Palestinian women.)

Nabila Espanioly is a feminist and peace activist who founded the Pedagogical Center and Multipurpose Women’s Centre in Nazareth (Al-Tufula) in 1989 and has served as the director since that time. She has an M.A. in Psychology from Bamberg University, Germany and a B.A. in Social Work from Haifa University.

Nabila has extensive experience in Early Childhood Development and women’s empowerment. She has written and edited several books and articles on early childhood care and development, as well as general social and political issues related to women. She lectures in many places around the world on topics including early childhood education, Palestinian women in Israel, violence against women, sex education, women in the media, and women’s political participation. She published children stories establishing a new genre by introducing the destroyed villages in 1948 in these stories.
