Sa’ed Adel Atshan: I have pages and pages of notes and writing on my research examining humanitarian responses to gender-based violence in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Structural and physical violence outside of the home certainly exacerbate violence in the home– especially in such a patriarchal context. But it has also become clearer to me that we must understand how our society simultaneously cultivates a durability of nurturing love between so many men and their mothers, sisters, wives, and daughters. One man I interviewed said there were no words to describe how much his wife means to him. He said that his father-in-law, on the eve of the wedding, was in tears, imploring him to take care of his daughter that he raised for over two decades. The husband said, “I promised to never let my father-in-law down and to be “shareekiha fil haya” [her partner in life].” Another man told me that he would “give his eyes” to his daughter– the only girl and youngest of five children. He said that when the brothers want something, they send their sister to ask for it because they know how his heart melts when he sees her after a long day at work. There are countless stories like these. I need to make sure that my representations of all the abusive men here don’t eclipse the voices and experiences of all their counterparts whose patience, respect, gentleness, and kindness for their families are just as worthy of our attention.
