During the U.N. Women’s 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, National Review is featuring 15 women’s organizations that have either supported Hamas’s violence against Israeli women or remained silent about it.

The Association for Women’s Rights in Development (AWID) is an international feminist nonprofit that works to challenge systems of oppression, the group says on its website. AWID waited until October 17 to comment on Hamas’s war against Israel, at which point the group said that “what is needed right now is an immediate ceasefire within broader action for justice, liberation, and decolonization.”

“We are echoing the voices of Palestinian, feminist, and human rights activists who have called for an end to the devastating harm inflicted on Gaza and its people. We urgently need a ceasefire and a broader movement for justice, liberation, and decolonization,” AWID said. “All civilian deaths are intolerable, and the targeting of civilians constitutes a war crime in international law. The double standards and blatant racism that are glaringly obvious today follow years of impunity by Israel and continued dehumanization of Palestinians. It’s time for international law and human rights to protect, not fail the Palestinian people. Let’s stand strong with the Palestinian people!”

“#StandWithGaza, #JusticeForPalestine, #StopTheMassacre, #Decolonization,” AWID added poignantly.

Usual suspects fund AWID. In 2022, AWID received donations from the Ford Foundation ($1 million); the Foundation for a Just Society ($368,990); George Soros’s philanthropy, Open Society Foundations ($250,000), and the Wellspring Philanthropic Fund ($150,000). The group also received funds from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands ($713,350), the Oak Foundation ($126,745), and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency ($1.5 million). Those groups are annual donors and have funded AWID for years.

MacKenzie Scott, the third-wealthiest woman in the U.S. and the ex-wife of Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos, donated a whopping $15 million to AWID in 2022.

AWID initiatives include advancing universal rights and justice through “women’s rights and gender justice movements and allies,” building feminist economies, and resourcing feminist movements. The organization is familiar with anti-Israel sentiment; in 2014, AWID condemned “the alarming escalation of violence against the civilians of Gaza since the Israeli Defense Forces launched ‘Operation Protective Edge’ on 7th July 2014, including the recent expansion to a ground invasion, breaking the November 2012 ceasefire.” Operation Protective Edge was an Israeli campaign to stop Hamas rocket barrages.

Feminists at AWID also want to legalize abortion and prostitution.

Faye Macheke, a “passionate Pan-African feminist, active in movements for women’s rights” and Inna Michaeli, a “feminist lesbian queer activist and sociologist,” lead AWID. Michaeli is also on the board of the Jewish Voice for Peace in Germany. Jewish Voice for Peace is the Soros-backed anti-Israel organization that sponsored a pro-Palestinian protest at the U.S. Capitol last month. JVP describes itself as the “largest progressive Jewish anti-Zionist organization in the world.”
