Women Wage Peace

Women Wage Peace: Trailblazing Israelis / by Joanna Goodwin, Jewish Women’s Archive, 22.9.16

Anthropologist Margaret Mead observed, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”  Women Wage Peace (WWP), a group of thoughtful and committed Israeli citizens, is demanding a return to negotiations that will achieve a durable, just, peace agreement.  WWP is focused on a theory of political change that reawakens hope among diverse populations of women to create the cultural shift that will make a return to negotiations possible.  They breathe the oxygen of “Radical Hope.”

Their mission is to increase the number and diversity of Israeli citizens supporting a negotiated peace agreement; to insure that the Israeli government prioritizes reaching a political agreement; and to increase the number of women engaging in all peace initiatives.
