Report on female Palestinian political detainees
The majority of Palestinian political prisoners are males, only 41 are females today. For a female prisoner or detainee, the situation within the prison might differ compared to the males, as well as how they are being treated throughout the arrest. Though, being a minority group, the situation for these women is less reported on and therefore not as well known. Just like in the rest of the society women’s situation is marginalized and PWWSD therefore has a certain interest to examine the specific situation of Palestinian female political prisoners and detainees. The organization hopes to shed light upon these women’s stories and on the fact that how they are being treated is in many ways breaking international laws. A specific consideration must be taken upon gender even in a situation of political imprisonment. This report therefore examines female Palestinian detainees and political prisoners’ specific situation.
