This thesis examines Palestinian female prisoners’ experiences of
imprisonment in Israeli occupational prisons. It tracks their health care experiences
during and after prison, examining the health violations of their rights imposed upon
them by the Israeli prison, which are guaranteed by international law for Palestinian
females during their arrest and imprisonment by the Israeli occupation forces, to
protect her, preserve her humanity and her health rights. However, these rights are
neglected and Palestinian females are targets of all forms of violations and violation
of fundamental rights.
This thesis also aims to identify the Palestinian female administrative
detainee and prisoner, focusing on the rights established to protect her by
international law and the Geneva Conventions; look into health violations from an
international legal perspective to identify whether these violations are international
crimes and the consequences of these violations; point out the legal mechanisms
available to counter these violations and determine the extent of the individual
international criminal responsibility of the leaders and heads of the Israeli occupation
for committing crimes falling within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal
Court.
In her turn, the researcher followed the descriptive and analytical approach by
studying the health care rights of Palestinian female detainees and prisoners from the
start of the arrest to the release, according to the four Genova Conventions, CEDAW,
and other international conventions. Extensive interviews with the female prisoners
and the information that is released from them are the basis for the analytical
material.

The study’s result showed that Palestinian females were not extradited from
detention or prison, the occupation did not take into account their femininity, and a
curl treatment that is no different from that of men, without taking into account the
basic human rights set out globally. The study also concluded the Israeli occupation
forces are guilty of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity through
violation of fundamental and health rights written in international conventions, and
the occupation leaders and soldiers have a civil and criminal responsibility for these
violations.
The researcher provided a series of recommendations at the end of the study,
the most important of which is calling on the Palestinian Authority to go to the
International Court of Justice to get a legal characterization of the female detainees
and prisoners, a legal judgment for their illegal health care rights violations. The
researcher also recommended requesting the international community and
organizations to increase their efforts to assist Palestinian female prisoners by
compelling the occupation forces to apply international law and conventions. |
