The reality of the Palestinian female prisoners in the Israeli occupation prisons and after their release

Abstract EN

Several Palestinian women and girls have witnessed the experience of detention along the years of the Israeli occupation.

despite that, they resisted the prisons with faith and steadfastness, and maintained their right to resistance after their release.

this study aims to realize the Israeli practices against the female prisoners, and highlight their social role after their freedom.

the researcher uses the historical methodology.

also, the study addresses two claims: 1) the Israeli violent measures against female prisoners, and 2) role of female prisoners in the struggle and community.

this study has found that the Israeli arrests increase during the Palestinians' confrontation to the occupation's attacks against the citizens and holy places.

also, the female prisoners suffer from different ways of physical and psychological torture, as well as they provide a model of national unity by supporting every prisoner exposed to the prison's administration's arbitrary measures.
