Celebrate International Women=B9s Day 2002
Towards a lasting peace in the Middle East
A salute to the bold women of Palestine and their Israeli feminist allies
In January, a 20 year old Palestinian detonated a bomb in Jerusalem -
she was the first woman suicide bomber. What creates such desperate
acts? Join us to find out more about the conditions experienced daily by
Palestinian women. This event is part of an IWD campaign initiated by
Bat Shalom, a Jerusalem-based feminist peace organisation working to
achieve a just peace in the Middle East. Discuss what's required to
achieve lasting peace.
The meeting will feature of special video screening of "Jerusalem: An
Occupation Set In Stone?" Produced by the Palestine Housing Rights
movement, this documentary is an excellent and moving portrayal of the
issues at the heart of the Israeli/Palestine conflict. Using interviews
and gripping footage, this film chronicles the reality of Israeli 'urban
planning', including the division of Palestinian families and forced
relocation of households. The video will be introduced by Freedom
Socialist Party International Executive Committee Coordinator, Alison
Thorne.
