This book was released on 2019-10-16 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Ethnology / Cultural Anthropology, grade: 2, University of Vienna, language: English, abstract: The paper is about the discrimination of Palestinian Women. The position of Palestinian women is very sensitive because they are part of different marginalized groups and therefore face multiple layers of discrimination and exclusion. They are discriminated against as women in Israel, as Palestinians in Israel and as women in the Palestinian society. The two main reasons of the discrimination are the traditional patriarchal norms and values and the occupation with its consequences, which together configures a high gender inequality. This discrimination often results in gender-based violence as sexual violence, intimate partner violence and child marriage. Palestinian women are given the role of preserving and transmitting the culture as well as the burden of bearing more children to ensure the continuation of the Palestinian people. The community’s ethnic identity was strengthened by defending their honor. In this way “family honor” serves to defend the restriction of women’s freedom and their inferiority. All women must follow certain rules of behavior and their success is determined by her ability to measure up to the social expectations transmitted to her through her family.The more stereotypical characteristics she internalizes, the more favorable she will be looked upon by her environment.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this article is to discuss the current status of one resilient group of women - Palestinians. Their economic and social development has been hindered by disparate treatment in all facets of their lives from both internal and external factors involving the intertwining of customary practices and religious norms as well as the continued Israeli occupation. One day, when Palestine becomes an independent nation, its future political and economic success will depend in part on the degree to which it can include women in all aspects of the society. The legal regime must assist rather than impede that process, and the article offers a few proposals to that end. Part II describes the current situation of the Palestinian women. It analyzes the negative effects on Palestinian women of customary law and traditions that are prevalent in the Palestinian society. It then demonstrates the impact of Islamic law (Shari'a) on the women. The article next examines the direct and indirect effects of the Israeli occupation on Palestinian women. Finally, the part concludes that the combination of internal violence, resulting from custom and religion, and the external violence, resulting from the occupation, causes spirit injuries to Palestinian women, which makes it almost impossible for them to flourish in the current situation. Part III focuses on the Basic Law of Palestine, theoretically in effect, and the Draft Constitution, which would take effect when Palestine officially joins the community of independent states. It discusses the pre-Basic Law history of documents that address gender equality, including the Declaration of Independence and the very progressive Women's Charter of 1994. It then examines and compares the various provisions of the Basic Law and the Draft Constitution as they relate to gender equality and the development of Palestinian women. It finally addresses the discrepancies between the reality of the Palestinian society and the ideals expressed in the Draft Constitution and the Basic Law. Part IV discusses various proposals to improve the status of Palestinian women, including curbing the high fertility rates, improving the employment and education of Palestinian women, and implementing legal reform. The article was written before Hamas won its 2006 electoral victory. The issues discussed herein have only intensified in severity. Only time will tell whether Palestinian women will ever be able to fully enjoy their fundamental international and nationally constituted human rights and participate in Palestine's economic, civil, political, social, and cultural development.

Download or read book Gender and the Israeli Palestinian Conflict written by Simona Sharoni and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1995-03-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simona Sharoni’s innovative approach to the conflict in the Middle East stresses the relationship between gender and politics by illuminating the daily experiences of women in Israel and in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. Among the issues explored are the connections between the violence of the conflict and the escalation of violence against women; the link between militarism and sexism; and the role of nationalism in building individual and collective identities. Sharoni also shows the impact of Intifada (the Palestinian uprising in December, 1987) on the Palestinian and Israeli women’s movements. While women’s coalitions such as these are critical subjects in and of themselves, the actions of marginalized women are rarely, if ever, given serious treatment in the study of international relations. With this book, Sharoni creates an aperture for the emergence of new perspectives and alternative methods in the development of a new vision in global politics and gender equality. The interdisciplinary scope of the book will make it valuable to scholars of political science, women’s studies, conflict resolution, and Middle East studies.

Download or read book Women and the Politics of Military Confrontation written by Nahla Abdo-Zubi and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2002 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the crisis in Israel does not show any signs of abating this remarkable collection, edited by an Israeli and a Palestinian scholar and with contributions by Palestinian and Israeli women, offers a vivid and harrowing picture of the conflict and of its impact on daily life, especially as it affects women's experiences that differ significantly from those of men. The (auto)biographical narratives in this volume focus on some of the most disturbing effects of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: a sense of dislocation that goes well beyond the geographical meaning of the word; it involves social, cultural, national and gender dislocation, including alienation from one's own home, family, community, and society. The accounts become even more poignant if seen against the backdrop of the roots of the conflict, the real or imaginary construct of a state to save and shelter particularly European Jews from the horrors of Nazism in parallel to the other side of the coin: Israel as a settler-colonial state responsible for the displacement of the Palestinian nation. Nahla Abdo is Professor of Sociology at Carleton University, Ottawa. She has published extensively on women and the state in the Middle East with special focus on Palestinian women. She contributed to the establishment of the Women's Studies Institute at Birzeit University and has found the Gender Research Unit at the Women's Empowerment Project/Gaza Community Mental Health Program in Gaza. Ronit Lentin was born in Haifa prior to the establishment of the State of Israel and has lived in Ireland since 1969. She is a well known writer of fiction and non-fiction books and is course co-ordinator of the MPhil in Ethnic Studies at the Department of Sociology, Trinity College Dublin. She has published extensively on the genedered link between Israel and the Shoah, feminist research methodologies, Israeli and Palestinian women's peace activism, gender and racism in Ireland.

Download or read book Birthing the Nation written by Rhoda Ann Kanaaneh and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2002-06-28 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this rich, evocative study, Rhoda Ann Kanaaneh examines the changing notions of sexuality, family, and reproduction among Palestinians living in Israel. Distinguishing itself amid the media maelstrom that has homogenized Palestinians as "terrorists," this important new work offers a complex, nuanced, and humanized depiction of a group rendered invisible despite its substantial size, now accounting for nearly twenty percent of Israel's population. Groundbreaking and thought-provoking, Birthing the Nation contextualizes the politics of reproduction within contemporary issues affecting Palestinians, and places these issues against the backdrop of a dominant Israeli society.
