Women Wage Peace

Thousands of Israeli and Palestinian women marched across the West Bank and Israel to demand a peace agreement.

After walking for two weeks they arrived in Jerusalem on Oct. 8th, 2017.

“Women Wage Peace” s an Israeli grassroots movement.  Its members span across political and religious spectrums.


The women’s group doesn’t have a particular agenda but wants to get both sides talking again.

Listen to their voices here and you will hear a new story, a story of women listening to each other and working together so that everyone's needs get met.  It may feel like a familiar story to you, one you live each day, not such a new story after all.  But this story is being told in an area of high conflict and that is something new.
