A report by the West Bank Protection Consortium, which includes various international humanitarian organizations, alleges that sexual violence, harassment, and humiliation are being systematically used against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank to coerce them into leaving their homes. The study, based on 83 interviews, recorded 16 cases of conflict-related sexual violence over the past three years, although researchers believe the true figure is likely much higher due to fear and stigma surrounding reporting such incidents. Testimonies reveal that more than two-thirds of surveyed households identified increasing violence against women and children, particularly sexual harassment aimed at girls, as a critical factor in their decision to leave. Specific testimonies include accounts of women subjected to painful searches and men assaulted in front of witnesses. The report underscores a broader societal impact, noting that fear of harassment has led to girls abandoning school and women quitting jobs, with some families even arranging early marriages for girls aged 15 to 17 to escape perceived dangers. The Women's Centre for Legal Aid and Counselling in Ramallah corroborates these findings, indicating a disturbing trend of abuse and intimidation in the region.
