Notes
The mission of the ASWAT initiative is to serve as a Palestinian gay women's group where they may express themselves, discuss gender and sexuality, define their feminism, and address the conflict experienced by between national and gendered identities. The ASWAT group provides a safe space for any Palestinian woman who identifies as lesbian, bi-sexual, transsexual, transgender or inter-sexual, where they can break their individual silence through dialogue, self-education, healing and activism. In addition, ASWAT strives to generate social change in order to meet the needs of one of the most silenced and oppressed communities in Israel.
