Investing in the Next Generation
Cultivating feminist consciousness, leadership skills and civic courage in young Palestinian women — from school-age girls to university activists and community changemakers.
The Next Generation of Feminist Leaders
PWWSD believes that lasting change begins with young women who understand their rights, trust their voice and possess the tools to challenge inequality. Our youth programs create safe, empowering spaces where girls and young women grow into fearless advocates for themselves and their communities.
- Girls clubs building feminist identity from age 12
- Feminist Academy: theory, history and movement-building
- Youth network connecting young leaders across Palestine
- Innovation lab for community change projects
- Creative arts and social media as advocacy tools
Six Pathways to Leadership
Every young woman is different — our six tracks offer diverse entry points into feminist leadership and civic engagement.
Girls Clubs
Safe, structured spaces in schools and communities where girls aged 12–18 build self-confidence, rights awareness and peer solidarity.
Feminist Academy
An intensive certificate program in feminist theory, Palestinian women's history, movement strategy and intersectional advocacy.
Youth Network
A cross-regional network linking young leaders in Nablus, Ramallah, Hebron, Jenin, Tulkarm and Jerusalem for collective action.
Innovation Lab
Young women design and implement community change projects — from local campaigns to startup initiatives — with mentorship support.
Speak Up
Public speaking, media literacy and digital advocacy training — helping young women find their voice in the public sphere.
Arts & Activism
Using theatre, visual arts, photography and social media storytelling as tools for feminist consciousness-raising and advocacy.
What Young Leaders Say
The Girls Club was the first place I ever felt it was okay to have opinions — and that my opinions mattered. That confidence changed everything for me.
The Feminist Academy gave me the theory to understand what I was already feeling. Now I can name injustice and I know how to fight it.
Through the Innovation Lab I designed a campaign about women's safety in public spaces. It reached 50,000 people. I was 20 years old.
