[5] The first meeting of the PAWC was held at Abdul Hadi's home in Jerusalem on 26 October 1929, with the event since heralded as the "first time" that Palestinian women entered the political arena.

[3] Abdul Hadi became one of the members of PAWC's Executive Committee, which consisted of fourteen women, drawn primarily from notable Jerusalem families (such as the Husseinis, Alamis, Nashashibis, and Budeiris).

This involved the attempt to shorten harsh prison sentences by appealing to the British authorities and raising money to support families who had lost their breadwinners to imprisonment.

Abdul Hadi was also active in the Arab Women's Association (AWA), also founded in 1929, which became the most prominent feminist organization in Palestine.

The mothers, daughters, sisters of the Arab victims are gathered here to make the world witness the betrayal of the British.
