THOUSANDS of Palestinian women marched against femicide and misogyny on Thursday following the murder of a Bethlehem woman, allegedly at the hands of her family.

Protests took place in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Jerusalem, the Israeli city of Haifa and elsewhere across the world under the slogan “Free homeland, free women.”

The day of action was organised in part through a Facebook page of the same name, with social media users spreading the call using the hashtag #Tal’at — Arabic for “coming out.”
