Women in Palestine fight for their rights while the Israeli occupation controls local water sources, agricultural land, and energy resources. The majority of the renewable water sources in Palestine are under strict Israeli control. Women are the main contributors to the agricultural sector, and play vital roles in rehabilitating the Earth. They have strong connections to the land, so this occupation affects them in particular—especially economically. Energy poverty in Palestine can affect women’s health, education, and lives. The women of Palestine have continued to find ways to adapt and resist throughout the occupation.
