“Through Women’s Eyes": A PCHR Report on the Gender-Specific Impact and Consequences of Operation Cast Lead

PCHR has released ‘Through Women’s Eyes’ in order to highlight the gender-specific impact of Operation Cast Lead and the illegal Israeli closure. As a result of the patriarchal nature of Palestinian society, women in the Gaza Strip – victims of ‘peacetime’ discrimination – are particularly susceptible to the marginalization, poverty, and suffering brought about as a result of armed conflict and occupation.

Israeli attacks result in often ignored gender-specific consequences.

On 29 September, the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) released “ Through Women’s Eyes: A PCHR Report on the Gender-Specific Impact and Consequences of Operation Cast Lead”.
