Abstract

The role of Palestinian women in leadership positions in public sector, specially the administrative leadership in Palestinians decision-making, is one of the most important goals that women seek to achieve in order to prove their leading role in society. The study discussed the constitutional and legal framework of public functions of Palestinian women, as well the distribution of women in different job categories in the public sector institutions of the Palestinian National Authority.

This study was divided into two sections: the first dealt with the constitutional and legal framework of public functions of Palestinian women, and the second discussed women and job categories in the Palestinian public sector.The study also highlighted the role of Palestinian women in sustainable development as they constitute half of the society. However, the presence of women in decision-making positions and senior government positions remains weak, impeding women's integration into the development process.
