“…In just eight years of activity, not only has the WWP movement become numerically significant, but it has had an unprecedented impact on the territory and a meaningful international echo. In a short time, it has raised awareness throughout the country through massive female action, progressively involving women of different origins and faiths, different social backgrounds, Israelis and Palestinians, men, and recently also the LGBTQ+ community (Asal et al 2013;Loewenthal and Miaari 2020). It is no small feat!…”

In the context of the many movements with a strong female presence promoting peace in the Middle East, the movement Women Wage Peace (WWP) currently represents the largest and most impactful organization in the country. Founded in the aftermath of the 50-day Gaza War/Operation Protective Edge of 2014, Women Wage Peace has grown to 45,000 Israeli members, the most significant grassroots peace movement in Israel today. WWP’s theory of change refracts the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, and its resolution, through a gendered lens. The movement is non-partisan and does not support any specific solution to the conflict. Instead, it empowers women from diverse communities to build trust across divides, leading to a unified demand for diplomatic negotiation, with full representation of women, to end the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. WWP enables very diverse women to unite with the aim of taking their own and their children’s futures into their own hands: women from the left, center, and right, young and old, from the center and periphery of the country, religious and secular, Jewish, Arab, Druze, and Bedouin. The movement continues to refine its non-hierarchical structure, distributing its work among thousands of volunteers who serve on regional and/or mission-specific teams, including Government Engagement, Foreign Affairs, Digital Communication, Special Projects, and Strategy.

“…The Second Intifada severely impacted the Palestinian labor market, and employment levels remained low even after the violence subsided (Loewenthal and Miaari, 2020), due to movement restrictions disrupting employment and growth both in the West Bank (Cali and Miaari, 2018) and the Gaza Strip (Etkes and Zimring, 2015).…”

“…The phenomenon of gender inequality has been analyzed by numerous researchers in both developed and developing countries (Nasir, 2002;Farooq and Sulaiman, 2009;Schirle, 2015;Biltagy, 2018;Chakraborty, 2020;Loewenthal and Miaari, 2020;Iwasaki and Ma, 2020;Geleta, 2021). Gender wage differential prevails in all countries as for least developed country Nepal, Koirala (2007) analyzed the wage differential in the manufacturing sector for three time periods 1992,1997,2002 and uses the panel data from the census of manufacturing establishment in Nepal.…”
