Women’s Group Reports on West Bank Settlement Effects
The Palestinian Working Women's Society for Development focused on the gendered impacts of the Israeli settler colonial system in the West Bank during their participation in an event held on the sidelines of the UN Human Rights Council. The society released a report documenting how settlement policies—including violence by settlers, movement restrictions, social and economic damages, and limitations on civil space—have marginalized Palestinian women. The report highlighted that reproductive health services are available on paper but remain largely inaccessible in practice, with increasing obstacles hindering the access of 3.4 million Palestinians, a rise in denied medical permit requests, and heightened sexual and familial violence and targeting against women. Additionally, forced displacement has led to a deterioration in women's economic and psychological well-being. The society called for the enforcement of international law, the cessation of settlement activities, the achievement of both international and local accountability, and the holding of complicit corporations accountable to protect Palestinian women's rights from the impacts of settlement.
