With the ensuing erasure of the Palestinian leading to feelings of frustration, grief and, at times, helplessness, it’s important for us to remain proactive and positive in doing our part as a society.
Social media has been an emotional outlet and more importantly – a platform to spread information which I believe has made the campaign to ‘Free Palestine’ so prominent.

As humans, we naturally feel a connection to causes that relate to us whether it be shared religion, race or language but also through knowledge.
This past month has shown us how valuable education is when it comes to fighting for justice for the Palestinians by unveiling the truth.
“The success of boycotting brands has proven effective and whilst we may know where to avoid, it’s also important to have the options that guide us where to go”
Pro-Palestinian brands
That being said, I wanted to do my part with The New Arab by compiling a list of brands that provide ‘genocide-free’ pro-Palestinian products.
Aside from supporting brands that value ethics at their core, it’s great to have awareness of independent brands too.
Here are 11 of our favourite pro-Palestinian, genocide-free brands to shop online.
MamaSia
Founded by Maame and Rhian, MamaSia is a beauty and well-being brand designed to bring you organic and ethically made products from Ghana.
MamaSia’s formulations are predominately produced by hand using ancient African techniques combined with modern beauty standards. Your support enables them to give back 5% of their annual income to extended families in rural Ghana.
