We started out as a movement with a few lone women and now we are thousands from the West Bank and Gaza. We no longer take the back seat and are determined to act persistently to end the cycle of bloodshed and to achieve freedom and a just, honorable life for Palestinian and Israeli children.\u201c<\/span><\/p><p><b>Yael Admi, one of the founders and leaders of \u201cWomen Wage Peace\u201d:<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis is a historical partnership of two women\u2019s movements who will not cease to voice their demands that the leadership of both sides promote a peace agreement and ensure a future of peace, security and freedom for both nations. Since the founding of this partnership and the formulation of \u201cThe Mothers\u2019 Call\u201d, more and more young and mature women have joined us, have decided to stop being silent and are trying to create a new path.
