Women vital in humanitarian aid
The Palestinian Ministry of Women's Affairs has reaffirmed that women play a vital role in humanitarian response, actively participating in the design, implementation, and follow-up of humanitarian efforts and decision-making to ensure their effectiveness and fairness. Palestinian women, especially amidst ongoing occupation, face devastating conditions that intensify the burdens on displaced women, breadwinners, people with disabilities, the elderly, and pregnant women. Despite these challenges, women continue to participate on the front lines of humanitarian work as doctors, paramedics, teachers, and volunteers. They emphasize the importance of involving women in decision-making processes to ensure a more effective and equitable response. The ministry calls for a humanitarian response rooted in respecting women's rights and dignity, ensuring their access to essential services, condemning the targeting of female workers and humanitarian facilities, and transforming response efforts from temporary measures into a comprehensive plan that includes protection, recovery, and reconstruction. Special focus is given to empowering and funding Palestinian women’s institutions.
