SUMMARY:Warriors for Peace: Can Women Revive the Israeli-Palestinian Peace Process?

They founded Women Wage Peace (https://womenwagepeace.org.il/en/)\, a non-partisan\, grassroots movement of women (and men) from all walks of life and diverse backgrounds\, beliefs\, and political affiliations. WWP is the largest grassroots movement in Israel that is united in the demand for a mutually binding non-violent agreement between Israelis and Palestinian\, involving women in the process (in the spirit of UN Resolution 1325).\nNote: Registrants will receive a free link to the 2018 documentary Les Guerrières de la Paix  (“Warriors for Peace“)\, directed by Hanna Assouline and Jessica Bertaux (55 min.)\, portraying the story of WWP and some of its members. We highly recommend viewing the documentary prior to the start of the session (but it is not required that you do so). \nLink to register:
