2017 Outstanding Peace Activist

Women Wage Peace is a grassroots movement founded in 2014 that unites tens of thousands of women across Israel, including Jews and Arabs, religious and secular members, from various political backgrounds, to advocate for a peaceful and negotiated solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The organization champions non-violent, inclusive peace efforts and prioritizes women’s roles in decision-making processes, aligning with UN Resolution 1325. Through initiatives like the “Journey to Peace” march, Women Wage Peace calls for sustained, equitable peace as the foundation for a secure future for all.
