Rani Al-Hindi of Adalah-NY said it was “an honor” to be part of the Free Ahed Tamimi contingent at the march.

“Palestinian women have been fighting the cause against both patriarchy and colonialism and racism for decades,” Al-Hindi told The Indypendent. “They’re a great symbol of resistance, of courage.”

Riham Barghouti, a Palestinian-American activist attending the march, also with Adalah-NY, linked Tamimi’s cause to social justice fights in the United States and to the broader struggle for women’s liberation.
