women are playing huge roles in practicing some activities to protect the environment, but unfortunately the Palestinian women have not been given proper attention
toward their practices with the environmental activities. Such ignorance or
neglecting may be affecting the country in the future because these women are
expecting many things from the responsible government and authorities to keep their
practice and progress positive. It could be concluded from this study that the
relationship between women and the environment will remain unique, but it needs
worthful addressing from time to time, and in order to encourage and attract women
to participate in environmental protection and sustainable development, the government should ensure the following recommendations be considered:
– Allowing and encouraging the Palestinian women to participate at different level
including the national, regional, and international levels on environmental issues
such as preserving and protecting the nature.
– It should be recommended to give a big opportunity to the women to be involved
in decision-making for issues like policies, funding of environment, etc. Perhaps
one of the examples to be highlighted here is by giving bank and credit loans in
the form of long-term loans with low bank percentage for women activities
especially rural women in preserving and reviving programs which increases
their motivation.
– Women roles as water resource managers, farmers, and irrigators must be
increased to ensure efficiency in managing water resources.
– Educating women particularly on environmental activities and related issues must
be set up in a place as priority policy. Such education will allow women to
contribute more actively in bridging the gap between environment and
development.
