ABSTRACT: This study revolves around the right of women to
equality in the Palestinian Basic Law, and stems from the importance of the
study in evaluating the basic rights contained in the Palestinian Basic Law and
their compatibility with international conventions. This study focuses on
answering the following question, which is to what extent the right to equality
for women in the law corresponds Basic with international conventions and
national legislation? Consequently, the study aims to shed light on the basic
rights of women in the Palestinian Basic Law, and to evaluate those rights,
with the importance of adhering to their application in internal legislation,
with reference to the reference of the Constitutional Court when considering
the constitutionality of legal texts in the applicable legislation related to
women, and the researchers followed the descriptive approach. And one of the
most important findings of this study is that the Palestinian constitutional
legislator equated women and men in rights and duties, which is represented by
the regular legislation that came in harmony with this trend. The most
important recommendation reached by the study is the necessity of providing an
appropriate climate to support the values and principles of equality and
affirming the principle of full citizenship to achieve the actual participation
of women in political life away from all discrimination.
