The Presence of Palestinian Women in Modern Media

Abstract

: This paper examines "the presence of Palestinian women in the modern media", and this presence is represented in two aspects; the first, in which the woman is the media, and the second, the woman as portrayed by the media. The paper poses main questions: about the extent of the active presence of Palestinian women in the modern media, and if the Palestinian female in the field of media is a decision-maker, another question is how does the work of the Palestinian media affect basic and important women's issues such as education and work and respect for their rights, humanity and dignity, the last question is about the image of women in the Palestinian media. The research followed the descriptive and analytical approach, and reached a number of the most important results: the stereotype of women is still dominant in the Palestinian media, and the Palestinian woman is still far from the real decision-making positions that influence the development and empowerment of women in Palestinian society, and their ability to raise their important and fundamental issues Boldly and consciously. Finally, the paper presented a number of recommendations and proposals, the most important of which are the need for women to reach decision-making centers in the media and communication sectors to counter the prevailing stereotypes about women and the clear discrimination against them, and opening a wider field for women to reach and express themselves through the media, the last recommendation is using the media as a force capable of defending women's rights and the importance of their participation in the development and development of society while maintaining the freedom of the press and expression.
