1 Presents -Middle East Short film Competition- Briefing Solidaridad Internacional (SI) is a NGO who works in over 20 countries in Latin America, Africa and Middle East, which main goal is to create a world much fairer and solidarity, through actions of development cooperation, awareness raising and advocacy for social change. Solidaridad Internacional, joint to its local partners, is implementing an agreement to improve sexual and reproductive rights of women in Palestine, Jordan and Lebanon, as well as their right to live a life free of violence. In this context, Solidaridad Internacional wants to carry out a competition to achieve an audiovisual material as a tool for raising awareness population and reporting violence against women in Middle East. Background Women (refugees and residents) in Palestinian territories, Lebanon and Jordan have difficulty accessing basic social services, such as health, in a situation of serious conflict (internal strife between Palestinian groups, Israeli control of West Bank and Gaza, and
2 fragmentation of Palestinian territory, and continuous conflicts between Israel and neighboring countries). Culture and traditions have enormous influence; women are subject to the patriarchal system, in a position of vulnerability and discrimination. Violence against women is a structural problem, which serious consequences, such as high levels of poverty and low development opportunities. In addition, the high rates of domestic violence are invisible and unrecognized by society and institutions. In recent decades there has been a significant progress in the international legal framework regarding rights of women, by signing International agreements and conventions whose full implementation will represent a significant advance. Thus, fundamental rights, such as privacy, freedom of thought, right to information and education, right to political participation, right to security, freedom from all forms of violence or coercion that jeopardizes the physical integrity of persons, figure in the International Conference on Population and Development held in Cairo and the Conference on Women in Beijing. However, in Middle East, most of the countries have ratified these agreements subject to reservations and, consequently, women face life with significant restrictions on their fundamental rights and low expectations of change. Legal frameworks are discriminatory, especially related to family law. In addition, public institutions are weak and they are not able to guarantee women's rights signed in international treaties. Most of women are socially and economically dependent, which limit their autonomy, decision capacity and the possibility to exercise their economic rights. In this context, gender violence is deeply rooted in an unequal patriarchal society. Despite legislative progress, women who suffer gender violence are pressured to not report it. Patriarchal culture, economic situation and the climate of violence generated by the occupation, accentuate violence against women in Palestine Occupied Territories. Women are concerned about psychological effects that war has on them and particularly on their children. Women ask for spaces to express themselves and need to organize themselves into associations/organizations that allow them to implement activities that will benefit them and the community. What we want to communicate
