The announcement of these episodes were designed, printed and installed as Billboards in vital places in the governorates of Gaza and the North, in addition to the design of a motion graphic video, as well as the establishment of a Twitter hashtag #Women_Participation_Future_Society.
The project activities were concluded by holding a dialogue meeting entitled "Palestinian Women and Elections: Reality, Challenges and Objectives" in the presence of 70 representatives of institutions, universities, and community activists.
