At the same time, living conditions in the West Bank remain intolerable, in particular as a result of Israel's ongoing seizure and colonization of Palestinian land, particularly in and around East Jerusalem, for the construction and expansion of illegal settlements and the apartheid annexation wall, as well as ongoing home demolitions and evictions, resulting in the continued dispossession and displacement of Palestinian women and their families, obstruction of freedom of movement and acts of terror and violence by Israeli settlers against innocent Palestinian civilians. Those and countless other Israeli violations, together with the constant humiliation of the Palestinian population, continue to have vicious consequences on the advancement and empowerment of Palestinian women.
