Al Qaws for Sexual and Gender Diversity in Palestinian Society (Arabic: القوس للتعددية الجنسية والجندرية في المجتمع الفلسطيني, romanized: Al-Qaws li-t-ta‘addudiyya al-jinsiyya wa-l-jandariyya fī l-mujtama‘ al-Filasṭīnī, lit. 'The [Rainbow] of Sexual and Gender Pluralism in the Palestinian Society'), often referred to as alQaws, is a Palestinian civil society organization founded in grassroots activism, aiming to be at the forefront of Palestinian cultural and social change. The organization works to build LGBTQ+ communities and promote new ideas about the role of gender and sexual diversity in political activism, civil society institutions, media, and everyday life. The organization also describes itself as "queer-feminist" and "anti-colonial" in regards to the Israeli-occupied territories.[1]
In August 2019, the Palestinian Authority banned Al Qaws from operating in the West Bank.[2] The ban was later withdrawn by the end of the month following backlash.[3]
