International Declaration of the World March of Women (WMW)

March 30 is the day Palestinians rose up in unified protest against the land grabbing and Israeli occupation forces killed 6 Palestinians in 1976. Since then, on every March 30, we commemorate Land Day, a day of resistance rooted in the defense of land, life, and collective existence against colonial dispossession.

Today we have gone through an expanding and exacerbating warfare and militarization around the World where peoples’ lands and lives are turned into battlefields in the sake of maintaining geopolitical hegemony of imperialist forces. From Palestine to Iran, from Lebanon to Iraq, from Cuba to Venezuela, from Sudan to Western Sahara the purpose is the same: increase control over energy through fragmentation and the suppression of peoples’ sovereignty.

We live in a world where accumulation is sustained through war, occupation, and destruction. Today we have seen the most explicit and brutal expression of the systems of oppression inPalestine. According to Palestinian sisters, it is not a new escalation rather a continuous reality of occupation, apartheid, and settler colonial violence.

In Jerusalem, Palestinian people have still been subject to a regime of displacement and genocide. The ongoing expulsions in Silwan and Sheikh Jarrah, and the systematic demolition of homes, are part of a deliberate strategy to fragment and remove the Palestinian presence. The closure of Al-Aqsa Mosque during Ramadan represents not only a restriction of religious freedom, but an attack on collective life, memory, and identity.

In the West Bank, military raids, arrests, settler violence, and the expansion of settlements intensify fragmentation and dispossession. Movement restrictions and land confiscation are tools of control that suffocate daily life and deny the possibility of stability.

In Gaza, the ongoing blockade and repeated military assaults have produced a catastrophic humanitarian reality. Entire communities are destroyed, and access to food, water, healthcare, and electricity is systematically denied. What is unfolding is not only a crisis, but a deliberate policy of collective punishment. Across Palestine, checkpoints, surveillance, and military presence structure everyday life. Children grow up under occupation, learning fear as a condition of existence.

Palestinian women are at the forefront of resistance.

The Palestinian women assume the burden of sustaining life under siege, ensuring survival amid destruction, displacement, and economic deprivation. They resist not only occupation, but also the intersecting systems of oppression and exploitation that shape their living conditions.

We acknowledge leadership of Palestinian women through grassroots organizing, community solidarity, and collective care. We support Palestinian sisters who defend life against necro-capitalism.

This resistance is not exemption.

We denounce warfare waged by imperialist interests in the name of geopolitical competitionin the Middle East.

The imperialist war on Iran brings on irreversible environmental destruction, punishing not only today’s resistance but also future generations of the territory. 

In Lebanon, violations of sovereignty, forced displacement, and the destruction of civilian infrastructure reflect a strategy of collective punishment.
In Iraq, continuous airstrikes and military operations create widespread insecurity, civilian harm, and repression of feminist and civil movements.
In Kuwait, attacks on civilian areas signal the expansion of conflict and the increasing vulnerability of populations.

Women, in war zones, are on the frontlines of sustaining life while facing intensified violence, poverty, and repression.

We denounce the Israeli occupation and the ongoing colonization of Palestinian land, as well as the genocide in Gaza and all forms of collective punishment imposed on the Palestinianpeople and women. 

We strongly condemn imperialist interventions, foreign military presence, and the expansion of war across the region, alongside the use of sanctions and embargoes as tools of domination and control. 

We also object to the criminalization of feminist movements and the shrinking of civic space under so-called security pretexts, which seek to silence resistance and suppress struggles for justice and liberation.

We reaffirm that peace cannot be built through militarization, occupation, or imperialist intervention.

Peace can only emerge from the struggles of peoples, from self-determination, and from feminist alternatives that place the sustainability of life at the center. Women’s liberation is only possible by feminist struggle. 

From river to the sea, Palestine will be free!
