Women’s leadership for diplomacy, nonviolence, and peace.
Women Wage Peace is a non-partisan grassroots movement working to prevent conflict and achieve a sustainable, nonviolent resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through inclusive diplomacy.
Founded after the 2014 Gaza War / Operation Protective Edge, Women Wage Peace has grown into Israel’s largest grassroots peace movement, with 50,000 members. The movement brings together women from diverse communities and political backgrounds around a shared demand: diplomatic negotiation, mutual understanding, and women’s active participation at every stage of peace processes.
Their Role in Civil Society
Women Wage Peace plays a major role in the Israeli civil society ecosystem by mobilizing women across political, religious, geographic, and social divides.
The movement does not advocate for one specific political solution. Instead, it focuses on building trust, widening participation, and creating broad public pressure for negotiation. By placing women’s leadership at the center, Women Wage Peace insists that any serious path toward peace must include the voices, experiences, and agency of women from across society.
