Title: Gender Equality and Women's Rights In Palestinian Territories Author(s) / Editor(s): Sophie RICHTER-DEVROE (Author) Publisher: European Parliament Year: 2011 Language: English.

 

Description: This note gives an overview of women’s rights and gender equality in Palestine. It introduces the main actors, and then provides information on women’s status in the economic, educational, health, political, legal and cultural domain. It finds that, although advances have been made, women activists need to continue and be supported in their struggle against dual oppression from Israeli occupation and patriarchal control, if women’s rights and gender equality are to be secured in Palestine.
