Open letter to the international disability rights community

“As a human rights movement, the disability rights community cannot remain silent. The unfolding tragedy calls for leadership, initiative, and action by all sectors of our community; from the grassroots to regional and international organizations, as well as those tasked with UN mandates to ensure that our rights are respected. Public statements are not enough. Collectively, we have a duty to shed light on the plight of Palestinians with disabilities, and demand that those responsible for crimes against them are held accountable. The human toll and magnitude of the atrocities being committed in Gaza does not leave room for indifference.”

Palestine Digital Activism Forum

Hosted by 7amleh, The Arab Center for the Advancement of Social Media, “Palestine Digital Activism Forum (PDAF) 2024 aims to put Palestinian digital rights as a priority both regionally, and globally, in an attempt to mobilize an intersectional struggle for a safe, fair and free digital space for all. AI technologies have already started to shape our lives, and they will soon have an even greater impact on the world. The Palestinian experience shows us that we must be cautious when it comes to AI. In convening allies from civil society, academia, industry as well as activists and human rights defenders, we hope to start the necessary conversation around ensuring AI is developed with the respect and dignity of peoples in mind.”
