Bayan’s attention to gendered expectations in the camp thus shows how the problems of non-national status can be compounded by social norms for women. Most Gazan women cannot leave the camp on their own to work long hours in neighbouring towns and cities or make the commute to Amman where temporary work is often easier to find. This not only constrains their access to an already limited job market but also facilitates their demand in the domestic realm. Unable to travel for work, women are made available for work at home where domestic needs are met through their unemployment. Indeed, the Gaza camp has the highest household size of all Palestinian camps with as much as 20% comprised of nine or more members (Tiltnes and Zhang 2013, p. 48). With such large families in the camp, it is evident why young women are pulled towards domestic labour while young men migrate outward towards the paid economy.
