Women Wage Peace! “In the world in which we are living, peace will be possible only when women with integrity and hope will stand up for their right to be concerned about the future of their children”. (Leymah Gbowee, a Liberian leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate) In September and October 2017, tens of thousands of women from Women Wage Peace embraked on a journey of hope and peace in order to voice their uncompromising demand for the resolution of the Israeli- Palestinian conflict through a political agreement and the inclusion of women in the negotiation process.

The Journey to Peace begun at the end of Rosh Hashana and reached its high point during the week of Sukkot in the Tent of Sarah and Hagar – a huge tent of discussions, hope and peace, art and music happenings, encounters and talking with the decision makers. We, Jewish and Palestinian women, the daughters of Sarah and Hagar, sit together in the tent and we demand an end to the long running dispute. We call on the leaders of both peoples to come to the tent and to begin continual negotiations there until an agreement is signed. From the tent, we ontinue to Jerusalem, where we will today (Sun, Oct. 8) launch the largest women’s congress in a mass event.

We, Women Wage Peace, who fasted for 50 days in front of the Prime Minister’s residence, who marched 200 kilometers from Rosh Hanikra in our March of Hope, who rode by train from Nahariya to Sderot, who stood at 140 intersections throughout the country – we are beginning a journey that will echo in Israel and around the world: Peace is possible. This is an opportunity to change the reality in the Middle East.
