Access denied Palestinian Women’s Access to Justice in the West Bank of the occupied Palestinian Territory: Where are women? Where is women’s accessibility to “justice”? Are there possibilities for justice in the context of military occupation?
Abstract
This study examines the sociopolitical and psychological factors affecting, hindering, and/or promoting Palestinian women’s access to justice in the occupied Palestinian territory (OPT), with a focus on the West Bank and more specifically on “Area C.” The aim of the research is to analyze the interrelationship between Palestinian women’s experiences as they attempt to gain access to justice in the West Bank and the local Palestinian justice system, be it through formal or informal institutions, while uncovering the various layers (both tangible and intangible) of bureaucracy, challenges, and restrictions they face in the process. The study also aims to examine the considerable hindrances women face when they approach civil society organizations, political institutions, and formal and informal Palestinian and Israeli agents and institutions of socio-political control when accessing justice.
