18 May 2022

13:00 - 13:55

The right to access the Internet is one of the basic guaranteed digital rights. However, Palestinians face permanent problems accessing the Internet due to the control of Israeli authorities over the ICT infrastructure and its discriminatory policies that deprive malefemale Palestinians of this right. While Israelis have access to5G Internet, Palestinians in the West Bank only have access to 3G and Palestinians in the Gaza Strip only have access to 2G. In addition t Palestinian communities still suffer from discrimination with regards to Internet infrastructure, which affects the quality and speed of Internet they can access. Speakers in this session will highlight the gap of Palestinian Internet access, the discrimination they suffer, and the consequences thereof.
