The Yale Women’s Center (YWC) has abandoned women. Instead of advocating for its namesake, the center has spent its time, funding, and resources advocating for Hamas.

Even before the horrific events of October 7, 2023 — which spurred student activists across the nation to glamp in solidarity with the “freedom fighters” of Gaza — the YWC was riding the “Queers for Palestine” train. In the spring of 2023, the YWC hosted an “Art as Resistance” event, where participants could paint their own pro-Palestinian tote bags, a Yalies 4 Palestine “workshop group,” and plenty of other anti-Israel events geared towards “social justice.”
