RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Nablus- 07 March. Palestinian women take part in a protest on the traditional women's day in Burqa village, near the West Bank city of Nablus. STORYLINE: The data also showed that 58.2% of currently married or ever-married women (15-64 years) in Palestine were exposed to violence “at least once” by their husbands, whatever its type, and psychological violence was the most common type of violence practiced against currently married or ever-married women (15-64 years) by their husbands in Palestine. Hence, 57.2% of women were exposed to psychological violence “at least once”, and 18.5% of women were exposed to physical violence “at least once,” and 9.4% of women were exposed to sexual violence “at least once” in the past 12 months preceding the interview in 2019. International Women's Day (IWD) is celebrated on 8 March around the world. It is a focal point in the movement for women's rights. Commemoration of International Women's Day today ranges from being a public holiday in some countries to being largely ignored elsewhere. Footage by / APAwire
