Women Under Occupation

Women Under Occupation:

"The Israeli occupation affects the daily lives of Palestinians, especially for women.

The deterioration of the economic, social and health conditions in Palestine is directly linked with violence inside the home. The militarization of space and restrictions imposed upon women is causing a growing crisis in violence against women.

Dr. Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, university Professor and author of recent book Militarization and Violence Against Women in Conflict Zones in the Middle East, speaks about the ordeals of Palestinian women under occupation.

AIC also speaks with Saida Atrash Director of Mehwar Center, the only shelter for women in the West Bank of Palestine."
