The unseen suffering of Palestinian women in Israeli prisons

RAMALLAH, (PIC)

In Damon Prison, 94 Palestinian women endure unimaginable suffering every day.

Their hijabs and traditional clothing were confiscated as a cruel punishment.

Guards invade their rooms at dawn, subjecting them to daily harassment.

Strip searches rob them of dignity, intensifying their humiliation and pain.

Simple possessions like plastic cups and thread bracelets are taken away.

They cannot even mend their torn clothes due to confiscated needles.

One shared towel is cut in half when a new prisoner arrives.

The women have no warm clothes as winter’s harsh cold approaches.

They suffer from poor nutrition, leading to serious health complications.

The prison controls their lighting, leaving them in darkness at will.

Their voices cry out, demanding justice and basic human compassion.

This is a story of resilience amid unthinkable suffering and loss.
