The Womens’ Peace Exchange (formerly known as Mothers for Peace and known in the United Kingdom as Women to Women for Peace) will be hosting a visit in October 2007 from two women from Palestine, two women from Israel, and four women from the U.K.

We want to nurture new women's leadership, promote healing by listening to each other’s stories, support principles of nonviolence, provide place/space to heal, and come together to problem solve about what we can and will do going forward.

We have invited “ordinary” women, women who are members of NGOs, faith communities, and/or political parties but who are not already leaders. So, like us, they are activists but not high visibility people.

We all have stories to tell, we all have reasons for our concerns and activism. We feel that it is the regular people who make the difference, so we want to share our stories, listen to each other, and plan what we will do, together, across boundaries, across continents, across oceans, for the future.

You might want to host one of our visitors, participate in some of our activities, or to help plan the visit. We welcome all inquiries, help, and suggestions. Please contact Bronna Zlochiver of Sandy Spring at 301.260.0108 or 301.966.0320 (cell) or email at bronna.zlochiver@gmail.com.
