(Final Episode of the Radio Series “Unguarded Passage”)
The fifth and final installment of “Palestine in Focus”, the special series within the award-winning radio documentary show “Unguarded Passage”, is dedicated to the women of Palestine—those who, over nearly two decades of Gaza’s blockade and the ongoing settlement expansion in the West Bank, have played a vital role in the survival and resilience of their communities.
This episode marks not only the conclusion of the “Palestine in Focus” series but also the final broadcast of “Unguarded Passage”. The documentary airs on Friday, 27 June 2025, and will later be available on the Voice of Greece website and on ERTECHO.
Palestinian women—as mothers, sisters, wives, and members of extended family networks—have been called to confront loss, exclusion, hunger, extrajudicial killings, and bombings. Along with children, they have been among the first and most vulnerable victims of war.
The documentary features political activist Alexia Tsouni, who spent many years living alongside Palestinian women and children. Songs will also be heard from three emblematic Palestinian singers: Jawaher Shofani, Rim Banna, and Nai Barghouti.
