Dark days for Palestinian women as world observes International Women’s Day
Muslim Network TV news:
Acting Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh said Palestinian women “are living through the darkest days” as the world observed International Women’s Day on Friday.
He said Palestinian women are “mourning their loved ones, being killed, displaced, deprived of the most basic human rights, in full view of the world.”
Shtayyeh said Palestine reminds the world and those championing women’s rights that there are 9,000 martyred women in addition to tens of thousands of injured, orphaned, and nearly a million displaced.
The Palestinian Media Office reported last Monday the killing of 8,900 women in Gaza due to Israel’s ongoing offensive for the past five months.
