The “Women’s Affairs Technical Committee” is a coalition of women’s organizations created around the time of the Oslo Peace Accords meetings in 1992. Their purpose was to insure that women’s voices and concerns were included at all levels of Palestinian state building. The purpose of their work, supported by the Martín-Baró Fund, is to develop the talents of young men and women interested in using theater performance to raise awareness of critical issues facing Palestinian society. Their specific focus is on severe domestic violence, such as the killings of women, and its roots in the Israeli occupation, weak Palestinian laws, and Palestinian patriarchal culture. The project will train participants in the method of the Theater of the Oppressed and engage them in creating a play about murders of women. Performances will then be held in schools and universities with the intention of exposing this important issue to a wider audience and provide people the chance to speak out, express anger, and become engaged in efforts to change laws that fail to protect women, e.g. excusing ‘honor’ killings. The Martín-Baró Fund looks forward to the results of this challenging initiative.
