INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S PEACE SERVICE – PALESTINE NEEDS YOU NOW
INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S PEACE SERVICE – PALESTINE NEEDS YOU NOW
We are looking for 30 women to join our international team working in the Salfit region of the West Bank. These new long-term volunteers will become the core members of the organization. Most travel and living expenses are met by the project.
The aims of IWPS-Palestine are:
1. To support nonviolent civil resistance by Palestinians and Israelis, and to create space for people to become more involved in resistance.
2. To monitor human rights abuses, provide accompaniment, and intervene nonviolently to try to prevent human rights abuses.
3. To alert the world community to human rights abuses in the Salfit region and to effect change in world opinion about the occupation.
4. To provide an experiential model that can be used to create international women's peace teams in other areas.
IWPS functions through working groups comprised of its members. These working groups are responsible for specific areas of work and form the backbone of the organization.
