About Women of Resistance
“Their voices were never meant to reach us—but now they are.”
Women of Resistance is an award winning and powerful documentary series and written platform that centres the voices of Palestinian women living through genocide, displacement, and siege. Each episode brings you face to face with the resilience, heartbreak, and hope of those whose stories are too often silenced or politicised beyond recognition.
At its heart, this project is an act of witness.
Presented by Sakina Datoo, each episode pairs testimony from women in Gaza with thoughtful studio reflection, drawing a line between personal suffering and global complicity. These women are not merely victims—they are mothers, artists, students, professionals, survivors. Their pain is unspeakable, but their defiance is louder still.
Whether it’s baking to survive, drawing the siege, or volunteering under bombs, these stories challenge us to see the people behind the headlines. They ask us to do more than feel—they ask us to act, to speak, to remember.
