RAMALLAH, West Bank — A West Bank project uses cinematography to create awareness of a wide range of gender issues, from the barriers faced by girls to practice sports to underage girls dropping out of school to get married.

The project, launched in August 2018, focused on state secondary schools in the marginalized areas in the West Bank under the slogan “local communities spearhead defending women and girls’ rights by using audiovisual production.” Carried out by the Teacher Creativity Center in Ramallah, the project was implemented in coordination with the Italian GVC organization as part of the regional, European Union-supported Medfilm project in 11 schools in the West Bank. Another part of the project is underway in nine schools in the Gaza Strip.
