Inequalities facing Women living in Area C of the occupied Palestinian territories West Bank s/node/ Gaza This guidebook aims to provide actors in Gaza with guidance on gender analysis, planning and actions to ensure that the needs, contributions and capacities of women, girls, boys and men are considered in all aspects of humanitarian response. West Bank (Area C) currently underway with expected completion in early 2015 West Bank (Area C) This paper seeks to analyze three phenomena that all demonstrate the manifestations of inequalities that exist in the lives of Palestinian women living in Area C of the West Bank: early marriage, lack of political participation and challenges in addressing violence against women (VAW). The analysis considers why the nature of Area C further complicates the possibility to reverse these three challenges. In providing a detailed look at the underlying causes, the actual impact of living in Area C on the lives of women can be better understood

3 International, Birzeit Women s Studies Institute Searching for Livelihoods in the West Bank and Gaza Gender Dimensions of Economic Collapse /default/files/uncheckpointreport.pdf This report assesses the impact of the movement and access regime in the period on the economy and the working lives of Palestinians, exploring the gender dimension of restrictions on labor force participation. The study captures what the deteriorating situation has meant for Palestinian females and males of all ages in terms of their economic engagement, their ability to seek alternate livelihoods, their coping strategies, their social and human investments (for example, education, marriage), and their future aspirations. It highlights that in response to male retreat from the labor market, women have had to step into the public sphere and employ strategies to prevent family destitution and aid dependence. Survival strategies have included searching for jobs in the formal sector (public sector and services), delaying their exit from the public sector (traditionally women would have left jobs after marriage), home production of food and other goods, selling or bartering food coupons, borrowing from neighbors, and volunteering with charitable organizations. The study points out that most of this work is not captured in labour force surveys as often women themselves do not regard what they do as work and standard questionnaires miss it and therefore it remains hidden from view and difficult to assess.

The research was informed by specific experiences of FGDs participants and case studies highlighted experiences of four farmers including one female farmer and two fishermen and one fisherwomen. A review of these case studies demonstrates that men are particularly at risk of physical injury, harassment and detention by Israeli soldiers.
