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. Monday 4 March, 6.30 pm Solidarity Salon, 580 Sydney Road, Brunswick.
