Women Wage Peace

Who we are? The Women Wage Peace movement was established in the summer of 2014 after Operation Tzuk Eitan. It is the largest field movement in Israel working to establish a respectful political agreement and today has over 45,000 companies and members.
The purpose of the movement? To bring an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through a political agreement that is respectful, non-violent and agreed upon by both sides, with the participation of women from various population groups in Israel, in accordance with UN Resolution 1325. The movement is non-partisan and its members are women from the various communities in Israeli society: right, center and left, religious and secular, Jewish, Arab, Druze and Bedouin women, young and old, city and periphery. The movement does not favor one solution or another to the conflict. The movement has thousands of female volunteers who work in the structure of dozens of field teams and alongside them professional service teams in areas such as government relations, internal relations, foreign relations, communications, digital , projects, strategy, variety and more.
Making peace every day: over the years of our activity, we have held thousands of events all over the country with the participation of thousands of citizens. We hold discussion circles, screen films about the successful struggle of Liberian women for peace, stand at dozens of intersections all over the country, participate in panels and conferences, maintain relations with members of the Knesset and public figures, and participate in various discussions in the Knesset committees.

Meetings: The group will meet once every two weeks on Wednesdays, at 20:00 (8PM) for a meeting lasting between an hour and a half and two hours. Most of the times and in light of the demand, after the meeting there will be a group outing/activity outside the walls of the university.
Rules of participation: HaAchva HaGeah is an intimate social framework, which respects the privacy of all its participants. Names of members should not be published without their consent, and guests who are not part of the LGBTQIA+ community should not be brought to meetings without prior coordination.
