generation for women within, what we might loosely refer to
as, a feminist problematic.
At the present time only one of the four politically
affiliated women's committees in the Occupied Territories,
the Women's Work Committee (WWC), is supporting the idea of
income-generating projects for women. They are supporting an
all-woman biscuit making "factory" established in Abassan in
the Gaza region. This organisation was initially set up by
six local women who provided the limited initial capital
outlay for the project. The project was started on a very low
key format and the "factory" premises are borrowed from the
local kindergarten. At present the women only work for a
short period at atime, although they hope to expand the
project in the future and eventually to make enough income to
cover costs and salaries. (23)

The majority of production based development projects in the
West Bank and Gaza are male-centred, primarily in the
agricultural sector. When NGO's get involved with women it
tends to be in the areas of health, nutrition, education and
welfare projects. The same thing can largely be said of
grass-roots organisations. Both tend to perpetuate women's
subordination rather than treat it as a political and a
developmental challenge. Even the most progressive "popular
forces" operating in the Occupied Territories today tend to
underplay women's subordination and treat it as a marginal
issue which can be adequately addressed at some time in the
future once the Palestinian national issue has been resolved.
