: Ms. JDBreaking the Glass Ceiling Abroad: Two Appointed as Palestine's First Female Judges
By stacisaurus
Khuload Faqih and Asmahan Wuheidi made history this month when they were appointed as the first female Islamic judges in Palentine, according to an article released by the AP. Judge Faqih believes that she has "opened a door for [herself] and other women."
The female judges say they can help their sisters obtain their rights under Islamic law. The decision affects only the West Bank, ruled by the Western-backed Palestinian Authority. In the Gaza Strip, the ruling militant group Hamas has not made similar appointments, although Hamas women have become legislators and are slowly emerging in senior positions.
