Through our sister foundation, the Cultures of Resistance Network, we are proud to provide full-tuition scholarships to fifty underprivileged female students at Birzeit University.![]()
Birzeit University is a leading public educational institution in Palestine’s West Bank. Their programs educate over 15,000 students in science, technology, social policy, the arts, law, economics, and other fields. Birzeit University’s Women’s Studies Institute is among the first academic centers for studying gender founded in the Middle East, and it evolved from Palestine’s long history of women’s activism. In fact, Birzeit University as a whole was first established as an elementary school for girls in 1924!![]()
This week, Birzeit University announced that it is launching the “Shireen Abu Akleh Award for Outstanding Achievements in Media,” dedicated to Palestinian journalists and reporters covering life under the Israeli occupation. The award was established in honor of renowned Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who was murdered by Israeli occupying forces in Jenin on 2022 May 11.
