Press House in partnership with REFORM organize a film discussion for "Out of Context” documentary

On Thursday, 5th of Sep 2019, The Press House - Palestine in partnership with REFORM, organized a film discussion for a documentary entitled “Out of Context ", which is written and directed by (Isaac Rateb), as part of the project “Fostering Social Inclusion and Gender Equality within Palestinian Society tackling gender stereotypes”, funded by the Italian GVC Foundation.

The film of “Out of Context “ sheds light on the idea of some girls' reluctance to marry and get indulged in scientific and professional life, and its impact on their social and psychological life. It also focused on the perception of society and males in particular for girls who are unmarried, and their chances of getting married after the age of thirty.

These documentary films were an awareness-raising activity for the trainees of the project, based on open discussion and exchange of views and experiences to increase their involvement in in-depth analyzes of societal challenges, as well as providing tools to help remove restrictions associated with cultural and social systems and raise their awareness of the importance of women's participation in the Palestinian society, and its impact on achieving sustainable development and cultural diversity.

It’s worth noting that this project aims at challenging discriminatory and exclusionary practices and behaviors that contribute to promoting gender inequality by providing safe spaces for marginalized groups, especially youth and women, to discuss gender-based societal issues, and to improve the exchange of experience among the various components of Palestinian society to promote the social inclusion.
