WAR CRIMES AGAINST WOMEN: THE CRISIS IN GAZA – PALESTINE

Abstract

The ongoing war in Gaza has subjected women to grave violations, including sexual violence, forced displacement, indiscriminate attacks, and denial of essential services. These acts breach core principles of International Humanitarian Law (IHL), including the Geneva Conventions, Additional Protocols, and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). This study employs a doctrinal and interdisciplinary methodology to examine war crimes committed against women in Gaza through a gender-based lens, grounded in international legal and human rights frameworks. Despite existing legal protections for civilians, women in Gaza continue to suffer disproportionately, enduring physical harm, psychological trauma, and heightened economic vulnerability. This research explores documented violations, the erosion of international accountability, and the urgent need for effective global intervention. It also investigates humanitarian consequences such as the destruction of health infrastructure and disruption of social support systems, which compound women's suffering. Drawing on reports from judicial authorities and human rights organizations, the study highlights the failure to prosecute perpetrators and the inadequacy of current protection mechanisms. These gaps demand stronger legal enforcement, increased humanitarian support, and greater international advocacy. Urgent action is essential to prevent further abuses, ensure justice for victims, and reinforce protection for women in armed conflict zones like Gaza.
