Protection Network for Lawyers that relates to the Women's Health Center of the Culture and Free Thought Association launched a community initiative to highlight the dangers of implementing the Social Security Act and to request amendments to its current version.
The initiative, which was hosted by the Press House - Palestine on Monday 10/12/2018, is part of the 16-day campaign for eliminating violence against women which is carried out by the Women's Health Center in partnership with the Medical Aid for Palestinian Association (MAP). The initiative events came to present the conditions of the Social Security Act and its danger in case of its application to women. It is considered to establish discrimination and gender inequality in particular, as well as violate the rights of a large group of the Palestinian society in general.
Along with the statement, participants started a tweeting campaign on social media platforms under the name of ( Security is Our Right Not a Violation#) reflecting the number of legal violations contained in the Social Security Act in its current version. Which clearly discriminates against Palestinian women in flagrant violation of the Palestinian Basic Law, which states equality and social justice for the less privileged and identify women. They demand to stop it until the completion of national and community consultations and accepting the amendments that constitute fair demands for large sectors of society.
Graphic artists expressed their opinion on the Social Security Act with expressive paintings calling for social justice and non-discrimination between genders.
