GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Palestinian women are facing economic and social barriers in business as they attempt to break the male monopoly over leadership roles in commerce.
According to a Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics report from December, female participation in the labor force in 2017 amounted to 19.2% of all women age 15 and older, with 1.9% of that figure owning businesses. About 66.4% of the 19.2% held service jobs and 11.9% of them worked in the trade sector.
