This measure was implemented through the Gender Unit at MOC and in partnership with local and international partners, aiming at employing social media and contemporary techniques of photography to expose certain women causes, such as their rights, experience in life and their contributions in development of the Palestinian society in all aspects being political, economic and social. Training was provided to a selected group of journalists and young photographers on how to raise awareness about issues related to stereotypes about women, and contradicting stereotyping, to convey their messages to policymakers and wipe out the negative stereotype about women, and fighting gender disparity in the Palestinian society. On the other hand, the project contributed to paying attention to the positive aspects of women's lives, encompassing the social, economic and political influence they play.
