On this day wherever you are, wear your Keffiyeh - show your support for Palestine - Remember the Nakba day.

#KeffiyehDay

World Keffiyeh Day is a global movement initiated by Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights (SPHR), a student-run organisation at Concordia University, located in the vibrant and cosmopolitan city of Montreal, Canada. 

World Keffiyeh Day (May 11th) is to be commemorated on an annual basis in conjunction with Nakba Day (15 May), in order to show solidarity with the Palestinian cause and struggle.

Why wear a Keffiyeh?

Be part of the global movement by:

* Spreading the word to raise awareness
