PWWSD implements two workshops about Kindergartens and Women’s Right to Inheritance

The Palestinian Working Women’s Society for Development, in cooperation with the Democracy and Workers’ Rights Center conducted two workshops in Bethlehem on Monday. The workshop addressed workers in kindergartens and nurseries. Mr. Mohammad Erreh from the DWRC talked about the worsening conditions for the teachers working in the sector of the Kindergartens and nurseries, in addition to the struggles and accomplishments made to unite the teachers in order to pressure and lobby the decision-makers. He also talked about the accomplishments made in the past years in order to protect the workers’ rights, and to adopt a minimum rate for wages.

On her part, Wijdan Al-Azzeh, the civic educator in the Palestinian Working Women’s Society in Bethlehem talked about the Palestinian Law of Labor, and women’s rights in kindergartens, in addition to work contracts, and the methods to apply the laws, and the importance of mobilizing teachers in unions in order to protect their rights.

A film was screened afterward which tackles women’s reality in kindergartens, and the violations they encounter at work or in their social life.

The PWWSD also organized a workshop in Al-Tireh College in Ramallah. Civic educator Naela Oudeh talked about women’s right to inheritance and the legal procedures concerning this right. Oudeh talked about the importance of women’s inheritance to empowering women’s social and economic status in society. Many students participated in the workshop, which is implemented under the Inheritance Denied project, in cooperation with the UNDP.
