The Women’s Study Centre is a human rights organisation that actively promotes gender equality and women’s rights in Palestinian society. Since its establishment in 1989, the WSC has been promoting gender sensitive laws and policies on a national level, and engaging in program implementation on a community-level, to transform prevailing social attitudes on the status and rights of women and the female child. The WSC is steadily making progress on its goals of social change, equality and justice despite strong social and political barriers in the occupied Palestinian territories.
