WILPF Missions and Visits to the Middle East

Over the years, WILPF has dispatched numerous international missions to the region and, since the early 1950s, has had working groups or standing committees on the Middle East conflict to promote understanding, mobilize public opinion and lobby for changes of government policies that would lead to peace in the region.

With the same aims national sections, in particular the US and Swedish sections, have organized and funded many activities, such as tours of women’s groups from their countries to the Middle East region and inviting Jewish and Palestinian women to their countries to speak from a shared platform. At meetings and through local and national media, sections provided information and also concrete assistance for the realization of some of the projects of the WILPF Middle East sections.
