"Agencies and institutions must be concerned to adopt a comprehensive strategic plan to document this important part of history and the feminist movement."Ferwana himself has already issued a study entitled, "Children See, Despite the Darkness of the Light of Cells", in January 2008. "Palestine behind Bars" has circumstances of the births and available date. Various media outlets have also published information on prison births as they occurred.Ferwana noted, "The cases of the birth of prisoners during the Intifada have received more attention and more accurate documentation than those cases that have been in prison before the start of the second Intifada  This page is protected from moves until disputes have been resolved on the .The reason for its protection is listed on the protection policy page. in September 2000, and therefore we always ask whether we are sure that the published and documented information in inclusive and correct. All organizations support the number of four cases since the Intifada, and an additional four, but we are certain there are more."
