Resource file on Palestine and LGBTIQ+ mobilisation
We express unconditional support for the liberation of Palestine, including Palestinian LGBTIQ+ people and organisations such as Al-Qaws and their campaigns for liberation.
From the very beginning of DSN, Palestinian queer folks and allies have been part of DSN. Over the years Palestinian queer folks have contributed immensely to DSN's collective conversations both within and outside DSN activities. Please find some of the talks about Palestinian liberation recorded at DSN conferences and events.
