Women in Israeli Damoun prison are exposed to aggravated retaliatory penalties.
The Commission of Detainees' Affairs emphasized that women detainees in Damoun prison, especially those who have been arrested from Gaza, are suffering from difficult detention conditions and exposed to aggravated penalties on a daily basis.
According to Addameer Organization, the majority of Palestinian women prisoners are subjected to some form of psychological torture and ill-treatment throughout the process of their arrest and detention, including various forms of sexual violence that occur such as beatings, insults, threats, body searches, and sexually explicit harassment. Upon arrest, women detainees are not informed where they are being taken and are rarely explained their rights during interrogation.
The Commission confirmed that the Israeli occupation forces have mounted a massive detention campaign afflicting women in the West Bank, Jerusalem and Gaza, indicating that all of them have been subjected to torture and assault during arrest and investigation.
The commission stated that the IPS intended to isolate women detainees, committing the worst crimes against them, represented in:
- sudden inspection at any moment
- they suffer from the cold weather, due to lack of clothes and covers
- poor quality and quantity food
- overcrowding in cells and rooms due to the high number of detainees in the same place
- IPS confiscated all electrical appliances such as radios and TVs, etc.
The commission demonstrated that the aforementioned practices represent a small part of their suffering, and called on the international community to denounce the Israeli practices against Palestinian detainees, in which they violated international norms and laws.

On international women's day let me introduce you to some of the victims of ''Isr@el''
1. Shireen Abu Akluh
On 11th of May 2022 around 6:30 the prominent American Palestinian Journalist was killed by Isr@eli snipers; they also attacked her funeral.
The shaky video, filmed by Al Jazeera cameraman Majdi Banura, captures the scene when Abu Akleh, a 51-year-old Palestinian-American was killed by a bullet to the head at around 6:30 a.m. on May 11.
She had been standing with a group of journalists near the entrance of Jenin refugee camp, where they had come to cover an Israeli raid.
While the footage does not show Abu Akleh being shot, eyewitnesses told CNN that they believe Isr@eli forces on the same street fired deliberately on the reporters in a targeted attack.
All of the journalists were wearing protective blue vests that identified them as members of the news media.

Ayat was killed on November 20, 2023, at the hands of the Isr@eli occupation.
They aren't just numbers.
The UNRWA said 9.000 women where killed in this genocide.
Your feminism is trash if you aren't speak up for the women of Gaza, who are using pieces of tends as sanitary pads.
And always,
Free Palestine

Statement from Sara Netanyahu.
“We cannot remain silent or stand back when the dignity and safety of women are at stake.”
But you remain silent when the woman of Gaza are having to use tent scraps as a replacement for menstrual products because of your husbands siege on Gaza. You stay silent for all the little girls who are starving, who have been bombed and displaced, for the ones who have been slaughtered by the IDF. You stay silent as the women of Gaza who are pregnant are giving birth in abysmal and quite frankly horrific conditions. You stay silent as the Women of Gaza cannot get medicine or medical assistance they need to survive as you have bombed and sieged their hospitals and slaughter their health care workers. You stay silent.
Yes the hostages must be returned safely but that doesn’t mean you get to SLAUGHTER OVER 30,000 PALESTINIANS.
FREE PALESTINE AND CEASEFIRE NOW

On this year women's day, all we could think about are Palestinian women in Gaza.
Nearly 9,000 women have been killed in Israeli attacks in five months. Another 2,100 are missing and presumed dead, while 23,000 have been wounded and over half a million are displaced.
“Palestinian women, especially in the Gaza Strip, are exposed to the worst humanitarian catastrophe,” Ashraf al-Qudra, the health ministry’s spokesperson, said on Thursday.
Dozens of women and girls have also been detained and face harsh conditions in Israeli custody, including sexual abuse.
Women in Gaza also struggle to find menstruation products and access the necessary pregnancy and post-natal care. The consequences on reproductive health, including a rise in stress-induced miscarriages, stillbirths and premature births, have increased significantly.
Women in labour are undergoing caesarean procedures without anaesthetics, and a shortage of post-operative care such as medication, antibiotics and pain relief further exacerbates the situation.
According to the health ministry, 5,000 women give birth monthly in Gaza under “harsh, unsafe and unhealthy” conditions caused by Israeli bombing and displacement.
There are 60,000 pregnant women in Gaza suffering from “malnutrition, dehydration and lack of medical care.
There have also been repeated cases of Israeli soldiers mocking Palestinian women by posting videos and pictures of themselves rummaging through personal belongings in Gaza homes, making derogatory comments and posing with women’s underwear.

It’s feels so insignificant to have this struggle but I’m getting my period soon and there’s no place to buy cotton/pads or the specific painkillers I get and it’s so so cold my pre cramps are already killing me. It makes me feel so helpless. [@/ Dicktator117 on X. 12/28/23.]
“Periods Don't Stop for Conflict” I remember this headline addressing women's health in Ukraine. Not a peep out of those same agencies about Sudanese & Palestinian women struggling in war/conflict zones.
#KeepEyesOnSudan [@/ RightUpMyAlley on X.]
I created a link for a gofundme happening right now to ensure Period Care reaches folks who need it in Sudan, and I will re-post this here for folks who can share and/or support:
This link here will lead you to this post of where you can support/send funds so that period care reaches those who need it in [Palestine] and other areas as well.
