Findings reveal tha…

To Speak While Others are Silenced: Ethical Witnessing in Gaza under Genocidal Violence
Armed conflict increasingly targets civilian populations and infrastructures, producing not only immediate destruction but also enduring social, psychological, and ethical consequences. Gaza represents a critical case of sustained violence, where civilians live under conditions of repeated bombardment, displacement, and structural deprivation. While research has documented the psychological impact of war, less attention has been paid to how survi…
Domestic violence in Gaza during genocide: A qualitative study of survivor narratives
This study examines the escalation of domestic violence against women in Gaza during genocide, employing a qualitative content analysis to understand the multifaceted interplay between political instability, economic deprivation, and entrenched patriarchal norms. Grounded in the ecological framework of Heise (1998) and subsequent adaptations by Campbell (2002) and Stark and Ager (2011), the research analyzes the narratives of 40 displaced Gazan w…

The study is situated with…
Gendered survival under genocidal violence: A decolonial feminist narrative study of women and displaced families in Gaza
Drawing on qualitative narrative testimonies from 35 displaced Palestinian refugee women collected during the 2024–2025 assault, the study illuminates the relational, embodied, and ethical labor through which life is sustained under siege. Using a decolonial feminist psychological framework, the study integrates structural analysis, narrative interpretation, and thematic mapping across six experiential domains: rupture of home, cyclical displacem…
Differential factors in the evaluation of the Palestinian administrative system of response to domestic violence
Further research needs to focus on public opinion related to systems of addressing family-based violence, which distinguishes between unpopular legal solutions and practical service provision options that are more generally supported by the Palestinian population. Increasing Islamic and male-focused programming that identifies domestic violence as oppression and outside of cultural norms related to the protection of vulnerable people is another r…

The psychometric properties and the factorial structure of Covid-19 Vaccines Acceptance scale (VAC-Covid-19) within the Arabic language in a Palestinian contex
The VAC-COVID-19 was a valid method to assess vaccination acceptance in the Arabic language within the Palestinian context. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct similar studies with diverse samples in Palestinian society; it would be prudent to target at-risk populations needed to develop the scale and its factorial structure. The VAC-COVID-19 can be a useful measure to assess vaccination acceptance among Palestinians, enabling health provider…
