100% of proceeds from the Kuffiyeh Prints will go towards Islamic Relief’s program to empower Palestinian women-headed families to increase their economic autonomy.
THE FACTS
Apartheid, ethnic cleansing, systematic displacement and dispossession - these are just some of the crimes that have been committed against Palestinians for decades and continue to be committed today.
