For many women, the weeks and months ahead loom like a four-year tunnel of darkness. We anticipate loss of rights, loss of well-being, harm to those we love and erosion of values we hold dear. Fear coats our eyes like an oil slick. What comes next? Will we pull away from one another, like beads of water? From our small huddles, debates ensue<\/a>.<\/p>\n

From all sides, the chatter condenses to one question: How do we move forward? Yet, when examined more closely, this question is as slippery as a beam of light that scatters when reached for.

Disturbed by the persistent conflict and the lack of women involved in peace-efforts, a group of Israeli women began meeting to organize for pro-peace solutions. In one of these meetings, the members decided to call an activist from Gaza to learn what was happening on their side. As Israeli activist Hamutal Gouri told a Christen Science Monitor reporter<\/a>, “[We] discovered that although our perspectives differed, we had a lot more in common.“………..<\/strong><\/p>\n
