The impact of Framing the laws of President Mahmoud Abbas and its relation to the Palestinian woman : A discourse study on banners in photographs published on the ضد اتفاقیة سیداو ‘Against CEDAW Convention’ Facebook page regarding the Framing of President

Sammanfattning: The aim of this study is to investigate the Framing which appears on the banners which were used in two protests in west bank / Palestine 12 October 2020 and 31 August 2020, and which appeared in photographs published in ضد اتفاقیة ضد اتفاقیة سیداو ‘Against CEDAW Convention’ [My translation] Facebook page. (From the hereon, these will refer to as ‘the banners’) The banners targeted the draft of The Family Protection Laws. The laws related to CEDAW that the Palestinian Authority represented by President Mahmoud Abbas approved in 2020. As the United Nations has declared: The Family Protection Bill is expected to provide measures to prevent and combat violence, as well as due protection, reparation, and empowerment of survivors of violence, while holding perpetrators accountable for their acts (United Nations, 2018) Through Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis Theory and by applying a gendered perspective in addition to the Framing Theory by Entman. I analysed the banners that were used by ضد اتفاقیة ضد اتفاقیة سیداو ‘Against CEDAW Convention’ Facebook page (Hereafter referred to as Facebook page) in two demonstrations, one in August 2020 and the other in October 2020, to frame The Family Protection Laws related to the CEDAW Convention that President Mahmoud Abbas passed. The primary sources for this analysis are 18 banners which were published in the Facebook page. I have found Four main themes that reoccur in the banners visible through terms used repeatedly: "Feminist institutions", "The west", and "Islamic Law", in addition to "Woman’s body".
