Abstract
The study aimed to identify the role of civil society organizations in integrating
men to reduce gender discrimination. The researcher used the descriptive
analytical approach (quantitative and qualitative), where she applied the
questionnaire to (377) men in the Hebron and Bethlehem governorates who
were randomly selected. An interview was conducted with a focus group
consisting of (17) men in the age group between 20-55 years who were
involved in activities with civil society organizations in the Bethlehem and
Hebron governorates, divided into two groups who were selected intentionally.
As for individual interviews, they were conducted with (4) directors of local
community institutions who were selected intentionally. The results showed
that, from the perspective of men in the Hebron and Bethlehem governorates,
the role of civil society organizations in integrating men to reduce gender
discrimination was moderate. The most important indicators of the role of civil
society organizations in integrating men to reduce gender discrimination were:
(The importance of integrating men in reducing gender discrimination),
followed by (The methodologies and tools through which civil society
organizations have integrated men to reduce gender discrimination), and the
least significant was (The role of civil society organizations in reducing gender
discrimination). The level of obstacles and challenges facing civil society
organizations in the methodology of integrating men to reduce gender
discrimination, from the perspective of men in the Hebron and Bethlehem
governorates, was moderate. The most important obstacles and challenges
facing civil society organizations in the methodology of integrating men to
reduce gender discrimination, from the perspective of men in the Hebron and
Bethlehem governorates, were: (I believe that society lacks sufficient
awareness of the importance of integrating men to reduce gender
discrimination), followed by (I believe that civil society organizations face
resistance from some segments of society regarding men's participation in
reducing gender discrimination). There were no differences between the
averages of the role of civil society organizations in integrating men to reduce
gender discrimination, attributable to variables (age, marital status, educational
qualifications, monthly income level, and place of residence). However, there
were differences based on the governorate variable, in favor of men in the
Hebron Governorate. The results also showed no differences between the
averages of the obstacles and challenges facing civil society organizations in
their approach to integrating men to reduce gender discrimination, attributable
to variables (age, marital status, educational qualifications, monthly income
level, and place of residence). However, there were differences based on the
governorate variable, in favor of men in the Hebron Governorate.
The results also showed that civil society organizations are playing an
increasingly important role in supporting men to address gender discrimination,
although the focus remains greater on supporting women. Participants indicated
a positive impact of these organizations in promoting men's inclusion through
workshops and innovative initiatives. However, men face challenges such as
the lack of safe spaces to discuss their issues. The organizations' vision reflects
their commitment to reducing discrimination by providing equal services and
empowering women, while engaging men in equality issues. The results of the
men's integration experiment have been positive, but they face challenges such
as prevailing norms and a lack of funding. To overcome these challenges, the
organizations recommend developing programs targeted at men and
strengthening collaboration with local communities, which contribute to
achieving sustainable results in gender equality.
