Myths about Sexual Gender Diversity in Palestine

Myths about Sexual & Gender Diversity in Palestine [Image Description: Three friends having a conversation in a park about their experiences as LGBTQ dealing with social myths and misconceptions] This is first video of a social media campaign titled "Difference Never Justifies Violence." The video presents a conversation between three activists who discuss local and universal misconceptions and myths that legitimize violence against LGBTQ in Palestine. These popular myths, which have no basis in science, create a social and cultural atmosphere that blames LGBTQ individuals, groups, and organizations for the violence committed against them, and demonize LGBTQ people to legitimize their isolation and marginalization. About the Campaign: "Difference Never Justifies Violence—Stand up Against Violence toward LGBTQs!" This video is part of a social media campaign titled "Difference Never Justifies Violence" which produced by "alQaws for Sexual and Gender Diversity" and "7amleh- Arab Center for Social Media Advancement." The campaign aims to address the different social forms of violence against LGBTQ individuals and groups in Palestine through three short videos, a series of posters, and new educational material, all of which appear on the campaign’s new mini-site: http://alQaws.org/7amleh/English **The video is based on some of our members and friends real stories and experiences, but cannot represent the amount and variety of violent forms society practices on LGBTQs** Participants: alQaws activists and friends Script: Jowas Safadi Graphic Designer: Abed Tamish Visual Effects: Naif Shaqqur Director: Eli Rezeq Web Development: Wajdy Jeries Producers: alQaws for Sexual & Gender Diversity in Palestinian Society 7amleh- Arab Center for Social Media Advancement This campaign is supported by The Euro-Mediterranean Foundation of Support to Human Rights Defenders (EMHRF).
