AISHA statement on the eighth day of March

March is the month of woman, mother and earth in which the meanings of life, radicalization and existence are embodied, and the eighth of March is the International Women's Day, which represents a symbol of the resilience of women and their continuous struggle throughout history in order to eliminate all forms of .violence, discrimination and persecution against them and to achieve justice and equality in various fields of social, political, economic, cultural and civil life
And we in Aisha Association for Woman and Child Protection celebrate this day and tribute the women of the world in general and the Palestinian woman in particular who was and still continues her journey in various fields and in order to achieve the equal rights of our people, foremost among which is their right to self-determination and an independent Palestinian state- building with eternal Jerusalem as its capital.
On this day, we should speak up and affirmed the need to empower Palestinian women to fully enjoy their human rights regardless of gender, and the public rights and freedoms affirmed by the Palestinian Basic Law and the Declaration of Independence, and the importance of intensifying efforts by feminist and human rights organizations and civil society institutions to implement Palestinian policies and legislation based on equality and non-discrimination and work in international conventions ratified by Palestine.
Especially the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women "CEDAW", especially in the field of Personal Status Law and Penal Code, and the adoption and establish policies and legislation to protect women from violence, especially the decision by a law to protect women from domestic violence to reduce the killing of women on various social and cultural grounds and pretexts, in order to achieve social and cultural environment that respects the right of women and affirms that the effective participation of women equally with men in decision-making at all levels is essential to achieve equality and sustainable development for our Palestinian society.
On this glorious day for women, we call for:
· Uniting the efforts of our people to end the division and confront the plans to end the Palestinian cause, such as the deal of the century and the conspiracy against our people
· Uniting the efforts of the women's movement, women's institutions and human rights in order to adopt and apply the Law Family Protection and ensure the achievement of justice and equality and the establishment of building a Palestinian society free from violence, injustice, persecution and discrimination.
· the effective participation of women equally with men in decision-making at all levels is essential to achieve equality and sustainable development for our Palestinian society.
