Women Wage Peace

When women get together Peace is possible – Interview with Yael Deckelbaum

12.6.2017

“Women of the World Unite” is the motto of Israeli-Canadian singer, songwriter and peace activist Yael Deckelbaum, uniting women and men all over the world in order to transcend all frontiers and to build together a future of Peace.

She also wrote the song “Prayer of the Mothers” in support of the Israeli-Palestine women’s movement for peace Women Wage Peace. It went round the world and became the hymn of the March of Hope, during which thousands of Israeli and Palestinian women marched together through the desert last year.

In the same way as women and mothers gathered after the last Gaza war in 2014 and founded Women Wage Peace, whose members now number over 11,000 beyond all political, religious, ethnic, social and geographical borders, a movement for peace and nonviolence can grow also worldwide she says.

That this should be led by women makes perfect sense as they all have, regardless of their background, one big common wish: a peaceful future for their children, for all children. And this wish is stronger and more powerful than anything else. Peace is possible when women get together and the positive energy that this creates can change the whole world.
