Palestine in Focus VI

Palestine in Focus - Multinationals at work

9 September 2024 16:00

In this sixth event of Palestine in Focus, we focus on the workplace. Because although it is hard to realise: our lives and work are hugely entangled with the colonisation of Palestine and the violence against Palestinians. Therefore, this afternoon you will get all the information you need to know about how your pension and laptop contribute to occupation and colonisation, and what you can do about it.

“They make death, and I am the labour of life”.
