Palestinian women launch balloons at the return camp near the Gaza fence for the 2nd week as part of the #GreatReturnMarch, Eastern Gaza Strip, near Shujayia, April 10, 2018. Around 30,000 Palestinians took part of massive protests called 'The Great March of Return" calling for the right of return of Palestinian refugees and the end of the siege on Gaza. The protests started on Land day, and are announced to continue until Nakba day. Up to now, there had been more than 30 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces and around 2000 injuries, many of them by live ammunition.
The Activestills collective was established in 2005 by a group of documentary photographers, out of a strong conviction that photography is a vehicle for social change. We believe in the power of images to shape public attitudes and to raise awareness on issues that are generally absent from public discourse.
We view ourself as part of the struggle against all forms of oppression, racism, and violations of the basic right to freedom. We do work on various topics, including the grassroots movement and the popular struggle against the Israeli occupation, women’s rights, immigration, asylum-seekers, social justice, the siege on Gaza, and housing rights inside Israel.
