Mothers Against Genocide release new version of 'A Woman’s Heart' for Palestine, featuring Mary Black, Róisín el Cherif, Ríoghnach Connolly and more

Female-led activist group Mothers Against Genocide have released a new version of 'A Woman's Heart' by Eleanor McEvoy titled 'A Mother's Heart for Palestine'.

The song is performed by the Mothers Against Genocide Choir, as well as Mary Black, Róisín el Cherif, Ríoghnach Connolly, Áine Tyrrell, Leen, Sailhymn and Kanun player Aziz Abushark.

All proceeds will go to Charities directly supporting Palestinians.

"When I was asked to be part of this recording project for Mothers Against Genocide, I immediately agreed," said Black.

"Lending our voices to the mothers of Palestine might be a small gesture, but if it highlights the terrible injustices and gives some solace to the people of Palestine then it’s really worthwhile."

Mothers Against Genocide was formed in October, 2023. They aim to use their platform to "lend their voices to the mothers of Palestine and make sure that people know the names and faces behind the devastating numbers of dead coming out of Gaza."

Fionnuala Nic Thom reworked the lyrics of 'A Woman's Heart' after feeling "compelled to do so after months of seeing devastating pictures on her phone of dead children and the screams of mothers who had their children so brutally taken from them," according to a statement.

“I knew that this song meant so much to many Irish women across the country and indeed across the globe and thought that maybe with the reworked lyrics for Palestine that people would open their hearts to Palestine and connect the love of a woman’s heart with the love of a mother’s heart," she said.

All proceeds will go to charities supporting Palestinians on the ground.

'A Mother's Heart for Palestine' can be downloaded for $10 (€8.72) here.
