The PCFF Women’s Group

Bereaved mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, aunts & cousins, Palestinian and Israeli, working from within their  for reconciliation and peace

The PCFF Women’s Group provides Palestinian and Israeli bereaved women with a space for support, partnership, and leadership, while strengthening women’s voices and participation in peacebuilding.

 Through their work together, they bring a distinct women’s perspective into the public sphere and promote an alternative to the cycle of violence.

Our 3 Areas of Activity

Personal & Group Strengthening

Uni-national and bi-national meetings focus on personal resilience, building trust, and deepening connections among group members. These meetings create space to address the specific challenges facing each community while strengthening the women’s ability to work together across political and emotional divides.

Capacity Building & Leadership

Lectures, workshops, and other activities provide women with practical and creative tools for leadership and public engagement. Topics include personal storytelling, the narratives of both peoples, relationships with women’s organizations, women’s leadership, and ways to advance ideas of reconciliation and peace within their communities.

Public Presence & Impact

Women’s Group members lead Dialogue Meetings, lectures, events, and initiatives in Israel, Palestine, and around the world. Through their public engagement, they amplify women’s voices and promote women’s participation in reconciliation and peacebuilding.
