Gaza’s first and only fisherwoman

My life in Words and Pictures

I'm Ghazzawi fisherwoman

My family and I have always belonged to the legacy of fishing on the coast of Palestine.

Under zionist occupation our freedom and rights have gradually been stifled by violence. Our lives are in danger every day. In a climate of too weak International Law to defend our cause, the solidarity of People like you is essential!

This site collects pieces of my life to share with you and be part of my cause.

My family is my happiness. 

Gaza is my life and I will always want to stay here.

My determination is my only asset.

You are my hope and my friends!

There is nothing like your friendship and active participation!

Most participants realize how exciting collaboration is.
