TUC women's conference - Women in Gaza also have the right to live in dignity
WOMEN in Gaza have the right to live in dignity, a Palestinian trade unionist told her British counterparts today as she urged the movement to take action.
Speaking to the TUC women’s conference in London via video-link, Palestine General Federation of Trade Unions head of gender unit Asyha Hmouda said that 60,000 pregnant women are among those displaced in Gaza, preparing to give birth and “awaiting their fate in the knowledge that the occupation forces have threatened to destroy them.”
She also highlighted medical issues arising from water shortages and women miscarrying due to hunger.
