Towards the Implementation of a Palestinian Personal Status Law based on Full Equality
Gender-based violence in Palestine is interchangeably associated with patriarchal structures and asymmetric gender relations; yet more importantly is systematically constituted by the Israeli occupation and its persistent violations against women’s rights.

Protest for the Implementation of the Minimum Wage Law
Taking into account that the Palestinian Cabinet’s decision to instate a minimum wage to deal with price spikes and poverty started being implemented in 2013, and stemming from the belief of the Palestinian Working Woman Society for Development (PWWSD) in social change towards building a society based on justice and equality, we are disappointed by the fact that a very high percentage of women are still paid wages below the minimum wage. In 2016, 36.7% of women in the West Bank were paid wages below the minimum wage compared to 12.7% of men, according to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS). This requires additional intervention by the government to tackle this issue and lower the percentage of women receiving unjust pay, particularly in the most affected sectors, such as beauty salons and kindergartens.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
