Lamia Ibrahim Abu-khia, 43 years old, specialized in Arabic Language and Islamic Studies, and a participant in the workshops held as part of PWWSD’s program to increase women’s electoral participation, implemented in cooperation with the Central Elections Commission.
“In this workshop I was introduced to the concepts of women’s quotas and their applications in Palestine, the factors affecting women’s representation, the percentages of women in legislative and local elections, and the need to provide work opportunities for women, in addition to their political participation and support as they are the backbone of society. And we need more of these workshops to increase women’s political participation and awareness.”
