Palestinian women

"Palestinian women in particular continue to face extremely difficult circumstances due to human rights violations perpetrated against them. Violations of women's rights peaked during the latest Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip, which took the lives of 111 women. According to the documentation of the Palestinian centre for Human Rights (PCHR), the suffering of Palestinian women in the Gaza Strip has notably increased during the past few months due to the continued tightened siege imposed on the Gaza Strip, as well as the impacts of the Israeli offensive, which are still outstanding due the lack of reconstruction opportunities."
