Queer Palestinian Empowerment Network
As an org, we strive to amplify & Empower the Palestinian LGBTQ+ community; that is, Palestinian people, within and beyond who identify as QTLBG+
QPEN started in 2014 as a response to the lack of representation of LGBTQIA2S+ people in the Palestinian rights movement spaces and lack of representation of Palestinians in the LGBTQIA2S+ community.
Our goal is to amplify the voices of queer Palestinians and empower them in their lives and ability to show up as activists in spaces they traditionally have Not been able to lead and grow in.
