Timeline
She is also the subject of a 2001 documentary film Stories from Gaza (Arabic: حكيات من غزة) produced by Mer’ah Media and directed by Lebanese filmmaker Arab Loutfi.
Sayegh received the Ana Betancourt award in the 1980s from the Cuban president Fidel Castro.
She was the secretary general of the Palestinian Liberation Organization's (PLO) Women's Union from 1976 to 1986, and a member of the Palestine National Council (PNC). The General Union of Palestinian Women was itself formed in 1965 as a result of a PNC decision in 1964. Known for her strong anti-Zionist views, she stated the goal of Palestinians is the liberation of Palestine and that "any Palestinian who wanted less was a traitor"
Within the Palestinian community, she is an outspoken advocate for women's rights especially politically, calling for greater inclusion of women in the Palestine National Council and policy-making. Sayegh believed the segregation of men and women as a form of discrimination as it prioritized the male component of the movement. In 1968, she took a stand against Fatah's policy of men leading women based purely on their gender and eventually lead to gender equality at grassroot levels. Her bold approach to empowering women has attracted criticism, with one commentator in 1988 stating "she shouts too much". She was a speaker at the 1980 United Nations Women's Conference in Copenhagen where she received "thunderous applause" for her speech on promoting peace, equality and development. She stated that the results of the conference was a success not only for Palestinians but "for all peoples fighting against racism, exploitation and foreign rule".
