The sample was chosen in an organized way. The following results were obtained from the study: The effect of the civil society institutions on the political participation of the Palestinian woman was the total degree of (3.83) and is considered a high degree; which means that the civil society institutions plays a main role in this field, and the political participation of women plays an important role in the long term in making the political decision. The study concludes that the political participation is performed by proving the woman's ability in managing the general issues, and the woman's education affects the increment of women's political participation, which means that as the education of women increases, the chances of women's political participation increases, and the chances for them in representing high political roles increases. The civil society institutions consider the women's political participation a first step in permanent society improvements.

Accordingly, the researcher recommends the following: It is necessary to work on correcting the visions that will decrease the chances of women's political participation, and to open the field for a real partnership in order to achieve social justice, which fulfills the requirements of full development. It is also necessary to work on expanding the range of women's political participation outside the womanhood institutions, which is done through showing its real role to the Palestinian society, especially the struggling role. It's also important to open the field for the women to participate in the NGOs and governmental institutions, and taking senior positions.
