Minister of Women affirms Bethlehem commitment
Palestinian Minister of Women's Affairs, Mona Khalili, confirmed that the government is working on expanding programs that empower women economically and socially to confront the rising economic and social challenges. She pointed out that the visit to Bethlehem comes amid increasing challenges faced by Palestinian women, especially with the rising number of female breadwinners due to the difficult conditions in the Palestinian territories, such as settlement attacks and harsh political and economic circumstances. The ministry focuses on developmental support programs, including financial and training initiatives, with a plan to launch a "National Women’s Portfolio" and expand international partnerships to enhance women’s participation in the labor market, which remains low despite high educational attainment. She emphasized the importance of strengthening laws to protect women and impose strict penalties for any assaults, along with efforts to promote sustainable developmental work and support women’s initiatives to improve the conditions of women and society as a whole.
