The Coalition of Women for a Just Peace is an umbrella organization of women's groups in Israel, established in November 2000. They call on the Israeli government to end the occupation of the Palestinian territories. Many of the member groups of the coalition are broader social justice groups rather than single-issue anti-occupation groups. Around the start of the Al-Aqsa Intifada, they brought together several demonstrations of approximately 5,000 people. However, according to anti-occupation activist Dalit Baum, by late 2004 their rallies were typically down to about 400 participants.
The Coalition came to an agreement on their principles for solution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict at a meeting of the Coalition of Women for a Just Peace in Nazareth on 29 November 2000. They are as follows:
# An end to the occupation. # Establishment of the state of Palestine side by side with the state of Israel based on the 1967 borders. # Recognition of Jerusalem as the shared capital of two states. # Israel must recognize its responsibility for the results of the 1948 war, and find a just solution to the Palestinian refugee problem. # Opposition to the militarism that permeates Israeli society. # Equality, inclusion and justice for Palestinian citizens of Israel. # Equal rights for women and for all residents of Israel. # The full involvement of women in negotiations for peace. # Social and economic justice for Israel's citizens, and integration in the region.
The groups that founded the Coalition of Women for a Just Peace are Machsom Watch, Nogoy, Feminist Journal, Women in Black, The Fifth Mother, TANDI, Bat Shalom, New Profile and NELED.
