Palestinian women are disproportionately impacted by the Israeli occupation http://mondoweiss.net/2011/03/palestinian-women-are-disproportionately-impacted-by-the-israeli-occupation.html

Today marks the 100th Anniversary of International Women's Day. Women across the world will be mobilising and marching in celebration and protest, championing their freedom of expression and campaigning for further change. Al-Haq takes this opportunity to remind the rest of the world that in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) the struggle for the fundamental human rights of Palestinian women is held hostage to a belligerent and unrelenting occupation.
