A presente dissertação tem como objectivo principal discutir as motivações das shahidas palestinianas. Neste sentido, faz-se uma contextualização histórica das origens do conflito entre Israel e Palestina, bem como do papel da mulher no mudo islâmico. Do mesmo modo, faz-se uma apresentação histórica e uma discussão acerca do Shahada1 no Islão e de sua utilização como forma de luta, especialmente entre as mulheres.
Em seguida, mostra-se o que vem sendo dito sobre o Shahada feminino assim como sobre as shahidas palestinianas nos meios de comunicação e produções académicas ocidentais. Assim, a partir de uma pesquisa em campo feita com algumas famílias destas shahidas da Palestina, apresenta-se um contraponto, uma perspectiva que dá voz ao acto dessas mulheres e explicita a profunda reivindicação do povo palestiniano contida no acto do Shahada. Para efeito, utiliza-se a Teoria Sistémica de Bert Hellinger como hipótese de trabalho e ferramenta conceitual para analisar de que modo a situação do conflito na Palestina e o sofrimento vivido em consequência desta podem ser determinantes na motivação das shahidas.
