Amnesty International Vancouver was honoured to participate in a press conference for healthcare workers who are currently detained or were killed while caring for their patients in Gaza. On July 6th, healthcare workers and supporters gathered outside the Vancouver City Hall to raise awareness. Approximately 400 healthcare workers have been kidnapped and detained by the IOF and tortured in Israeli prisons. In blatant violation of its obligations under international law, Israel has denied International Committee for the Red Cross (ICRC) visits to Palestinian prisoners and detainees since October 2023. We refuse to stay silent. Palestinian healthcare workers must be protected.

Her presentation highlighted the limitations and potential of international law in addressing the genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza.

Have a taste for justice and human rights? Amnesty International will be releasing a new online cookbook, “Recipes of Resilience: Flavours of Palestine.” This free digital cookbook brings together eight Palestinian food creators from around the world – each sharing treasured recipes and stories.

Flavours of Palestine is a window into a people, a culture, and a history often overlooked. Through rich, traditional recipes and moving personal stories, this collection invites you into the homes, memories, and lived experiences of Palestinians around the world.

You’ll discover how food connects to identity—how the scent of za’atar, the warmth of bread, or the ritual of a shared meal can carry generations of meaning, especially in the face of displacement and loss.

Behind every dish is a story—not only of hardship, but of strength, love, and joy. This book is a celebration of Palestinian culture, a reflection of community resilience, and a powerful reminder that food can build bridges where walls divide.

These eight food bloggers, content creators and chefs have generously opened their hearts and kitchens to share more than just recipes—they’ve shared lived experiences shaped by love, memory, and the struggle for justice.

Their voices remind us that resilience isn’t about enduring hardship in silence. It’s about community. It’s about joy. And it’s about preserving culture in the face of erasure.

Join us on June 1st as we welcome renowned human rights lawyer, professor, and activist Noura Erakat, CCMS' Edward W. Said Memorial Lecturer for an evening of conversation forged for this cataclysmic moment. In a stirring call to "build the world anew", Erakat draws from her forthcoming co-authored book with John Reynolds to argue that the decolonization of Palestine is not only a struggle for justice in one land, but the very heart of a livable, equitable future for all of humanity. Following her address, Erakat will be in conversation with Dania Majid, Sara Kishawi, and Dr. Adel Iskandar. This is an urgent, unmissable evening of political imagination and moral clarity.
