Women in conflict zones face steep challenges, and nowhere is this
clearer than in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, regions that face
reduced foreign aid, foreign occupation, violence, instability,
ingrained social conservatism and perpetual political crisis. Yet
the stereotypical view that women are unable to act politically in
the socially conservative contexts of the Middle East is a long way
from the truth. Here Ibrahim Natil shines a spotlight on how young
Palestinian women work through civil society organizations (CSOs)
to improve their communities' and their own resilience and
empowerment. He first outlines the impact of CSOs upon peaceful
struggle, human rights and community development relief assistance,
highlighting how CSOs respond rapidly to the needs of the
population by delivering social, health, cultural and educational
services to all sectors of society during humanitarian crises. He
then asks how empowered Palestinian women contribute to CSO
missions and how CSO missions reciprocally contribute to
Palestinian women's empowerment. Ultimately, young Palestinian
women's engagement with CSOs proves to strengthen cooperation,
communication and cross-fertilization between CSO groups, which in
turn increases these young women's agency. Conflict, Civil Society,
and Women's Empowerment: Insights from the West Bank and the Gaza
Strip is a little-known success story, one that makes for required
reading for scholars of development, peace studies, conflict
resolution and conflict strategy, and which will inspire women's
rights activists around the globe.
