"Women journalists, in particular, have shown true heroism. They have taken on the dangerous task of reporting on a genocidal war, of bearing witness and documenting atrocities. Their cameras, notebooks and phones have become tools not only of storytelling but also of survival and memory."
"Mariam was not just a courageous journalist but also a loving daughter and mother. When she was younger, she donated one of her kidneys to her father, who was struggling with kidney disease. She was fully dedicated to her son, Ghaith. During the war, she made the painful decision to send him abroad so he would be safe."
"More than 20 of the 270 journalists and media workers murdered by Israel were women. Among them is Mariam Abu Daqqa, who was targeted by the Israeli army along with other journalists at the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip in August."
Palestinian women journalists in Gaza have demonstrated exceptional courage by continuing to report on the Israeli occupation and ongoing conflict despite extreme danger. More than 20 women journalists have been murdered by Israeli forces while documenting the war and its impact on civilians. These journalists use cameras, notebooks, and phones as tools for storytelling, survival, and historical documentation. Notable among them is Mariam Abu Daqqa, a field correspondent who reported on Palestinian suffering under siege and during the genocidal war. She made personal sacrifices, including donating a kidney to her father and sending her son abroad for safety, before being killed by Israeli forces at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis in August.
