PWWSD publishes New Edition of “Yanabee’ Alhayat”

The Palestinian Working Women’s Society for Development published the 65^th edition of its quaretly journal “Yanabee’ Alhayat”, which stands for Springs of Life. The journal explores social and feminist issues, researched and criticized by well-known researchers and gender activists. The new edition, however, sheds light on national struggles as it tackles in depth the Nakba of 1948 and the Nakssa in 1967, and their implications on women’s political engagement.  The new edition also tackles the verbal history of those two catastrophes and the psychological impacts on women. Many Palestinian artists have reflected the Nakba in their word, as evident in many of the works of Mrs. Tamam Al-Akhhal.

Moreover, Yanabee’ Alhayat investigates the multiple and compound forms of discrimination against women such as the matter of social protection, the work atmosphere, status of women working in the NGO sector, as it also documents the testimonies of many refugee women and their memories.

The editorial of the journal emphasizes on the Right of Return, which will not perish. PWWSD stresses that the Right of Return is an individual and a collective right, beyond any reconciliation or settlement.
