Based on the original statement by the Palestinian Feminist Collective (PFC), a group of feminists comprised of Palestinian feminists Leila Sharif, Lama Khouri, and elaborations by Peggy Antrobus (Barbados), María Suarez Toro (Costa Rica and Puerto Rico), Rosalind Petchesky (USA), Paola Melchiori (Italy), Pilar Emitxin (Argentina), and Pregs Govender (South Africa) summarized* what this important feminist gaze about Gaza is all about.
It is easy to lose sight of wars and forget the obvious fact that women and children make up the majority of victims. That is why we have been inspired by a statement by the Palestinian Feminist Collective, a group of young Palestinian women, activists and academics who live in exile with strong political and family ties to Palestine.
Their Statement is valuable in that it highlights the characteristics of "a project of reproductive genocide," illuminating the internal coherence of the extermination that is being carried out today in full view of everyone and which is linked to many others perpetrated in other eras.
The term ‘reproductive genocide’ used to define it clearly highlights the centrality of the attack on the reproduction of life, allowing us to analyze its internal articulations, it organically connects all the components of the destruction carried out, and highlights its aspect as an organic project, especially a long-term colonial project, already experimented with in some of its forms in other colonizations and potentially valid against the lives of all peoples.
