Abstract: | ABSTRACT: Despite the growth of the microfinance sector in Palestine, the gap between demand and supply is still huge. The unique political situation assures the importance of microfinance sector and women contribution in the country and its effects over the development of the country, along with the high unemployment and poverty rates.
Women empowerment through microfinance is needed the most in rural areas where there is discrimination between men and women. Their contribution in the economy accelerates the development of the local market, affecting their children, child labor reduction, increasing self-confidence, and higher contribution in decision-making. Microfinance institutions are trying to achieve the highest outreach rate to ensure their effectiveness and accomplish its mission.
Starting from this point, I will prove the importance of microfinance in Palestine over the living standards and women empowerment under the complicated political and economic situation, covering West Bank and Gaza Strip (Palestinian Territories).
Keywords: Women empowerment, decision-making, outreach, living standards.

ÖZ: Filistin‟de mikrofinans sektörü gelişmesine rağmen arz ile talep arasinda hala bir uçurum vardır. Filistin‟de, sıradışı siyasi durum ve yüksek işsizlik ve yoksulluk oranlari ile birlikte ülkenin gelişimi üzeride mikrofinans sektörünün ve kadinlarin katkısı çok büyüktür.
Daha çok erkekler ve kadınlar arasında ayrımcılığın olduğu alanlarda mikrofinans yoluyla kadınların güçlendirilmesine ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Ekonomide kadınların katkıları yerel pazarın geliıimini arttırır, çocuklar olumlu bir şekilde etkilenir, çocuk işçiliği azalır, kendilerine güvenlerini ve karar verme gücünü yükseltir. Mikrofinans kurumları en yuksek sosyal orana ulaşmak, etkileyici olmak ve misyonunu gerçekleştirmek için çalişmaktadır.
Bu noktadan hareket ederek, Batı Şeria ve Gazze'de (Filistin toprakları) karmaşık siyasi ve ekonomik durum altındaki yaşam standartlarında kadınların güçlendirilmesinin ve mikrofinansın önemini ispat edeceğim.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Kadınların güçlendirilmesi, karar verme, yaşam standartları, ulaşmak. |
