The Palestinian Working Woman Society for Development Organizes Workshop on Women’s Right to Inheritance in Senjil

In cooperation with the Danish Church Aid (DCA), the Young Men's Christian Association YMCA, and the Women’s Affairs Centre, among its Inheritance Denied project activities, the Palestinian Working Woman Society for Development organized in Senjil a workshop on women’s right to inheritance within legislations and application. Participants addressed the importance to issue a law, and establish a legislative unit within the legislative courts to guarantee just judgment concerning the issue of inheritance. They also agreed on the urgency to reach at settlement and to register the untrasfered money to the Palestinian Territories.

The civic educator at the PWWSD Naela Oudeh facilitated the session, alongside with tens of the village’s women. Oudeh stressed the urgency to give women their shares of inheritance, especially under the deteriorating social and economic circumstances.  Statistics indicate that the families that are supported by women are the poorest in society.
