Palestinian women entering Israel to work complain of sexual harassment on the waiting line inside the Checkpoint

Palestinian women who arrive at the Sha’ar Ephraim checkpoint, south of Tulkarm on the way to work inside Israel, report frequent sexual harassment within the area of the checkpoint designated for women only.

Some of the the women who spoke to MAAN and complained about the unbearable situation (they spoke to Wafa Tayara from MAAN on condition of anonymity), dubbed the checkpoint “ma’ata”, a device for plucking the feathers of chickens before slaughter

As an organization committed to the rights of workers without distinction of religion, race, nationality, gender, or profession - democracy is our essence. We strongly oppose the authoritarian laws that the extreme government of Netanyahu, Lapid, Bennett, and Smotrich is attempting to impose.

Without democracy, there are no workers' rights, just as a workers' organization cannot exist under dictatorship.

We invite you:

To march with us in protests and to build an alternative, democratic, Jewish-Arab professional union in Israel. Join our quiet WhatsApp group today, "Marching with us in protest."

To join MAAN and unite workers in your workplace. Read here how to join the organization.

To follow MAAN's work on social networks.

Please write your full name, phone number, and a brief description of the subject of your inquiry, and a representative from our organization will get back to you as soon as possible.
