Additional Information "The symbolism and influence of the Goddess in feminist spirituality brings positive effects on women and on how they view themselves and their menses. Through these impacts of feminist spirituality, women become liberated and empowered by overcoming obstacles set forth by patriarchal views about the woman and her body. This thesis aims to uncover how menstruation can become such a liberating spiritual experience, through the means of feminist spirituality, influenced by reformative feminist thought processes."

Additional Information In this study I explore how various international non-governmental organizations frame the issue of, and solutions for, the incarceration of Palestinian youth. I employ content analysis in combination with social movement (SM) theory and framework analysis to critically analyze these organizations’ approaches to writing reports on the systematic and institutionalized ill-treatment and torture of Palestinian youth in the Israeli military detention system. In addition to finding how social movement NGOs frame the issue, my research fills a valuable research gap through connecting the topic with U.S. based mass incarceration literature. I discuss the necessity of reforming how SM NGO reports frame the issue of incarcerated Palestinian youth through offering specific improvements and I argue how transnational advocacy networks and youth activism have potential to catalyze socio-political change for the precarious situation of Palestinian youth.
