In Palestine significant number of women and girls in the Occupied Palestinian Territories are victims of violence perpetrated by family members and intimate partners. While there is increasing recognition of the problem and some Palestinian Authority officials have indicated their support for a more forceful response, little action has been taken to seriously address these abuses. Indeed, there is some evidence the level of violence is getting worse while the remedies available to victims are being further eroded.There is little comprehensive data on violence against women and girls in the OPT , but the basic contours of the problem are clear. Various studies and statistics gathered by the Palestinian central bureau of statistics and Palestinian women’s groups record high levels of violence perpetrated by family members and intimate partners , aggravated during times of political violence.
