The Palestinian Working Women’s
Society for Development condemns the murder of 34 year-old Randa Mahareeq from
Hebron, who was killed by her brother and father. The prosecutors tried to
conceal the murder with the assistance of a corrupt forensic scientist, who
falsified Randa’s death certificate without analyzing her body.
We, at the Palestinian Working
Women’s Society for Development denounce the fourth crime this month, as 4
other women were murdered in cold blood in Gaza, Tulkarem, Bethlehem and
Hebron. Number of murders reached 11 in August, which is a serious indicator of
the increasing tendency of femicide. The absence of a deterring law, and
the dominance of the patriarchal mentality which discriminates against women, increase
the blatant violations of women’s right to live. Therefore, we call upon duty bearers not to
dismiss these incidents, and to investigate in the crimes and bring prosecutors
to justice.
