Amidst Israel's ongoing occupation, the compounded harms inflicted on Palestinian women and girls in Gaza stem from a complex interplay of structural violence, economic deprivation, and social marginalization. Amnesty International's report highlights the devastating impact of Israel's deliberate policies aimed at eradicating the Palestinian population. This systemic oppression has pushed women and girls to the brink, underscoring the need for a comprehensive approach that addresses the root causes of their suffering.
