UN urges end to women's pain in West Bank
The United Nations Women agency has called for urgent action to end the suffering of women in the West Bank, amid rising levels of violence, movement restrictions, and widespread displacement. Data shows that approximately 83,000 households are headed by women, with over 41,000 people displaced, including more than 20,000 women and girls. Women carry significant responsibilities, managing 82% of household income, caring for 77% of children, and making 75% of safety decisions. Meanwhile, they face obstacles totaling up to 925 movement restrictions, which contribute to feelings of insecurity and impede their access to livelihood opportunities. The United Nations has also highlighted the increasing hardships related to living conditions and displacement, along with growing fears of violence and security threats affecting women and children’s families.
