Cross-border march

The International Human Rights March of Women spent three weeks (Dec. 20 to Jan. 10) walking through Israel and Palestine. Between 100 and 150 women came from overseas to participate, in addition to Palestinians and Israelis, some who joined intermittently. Along the way, the women witnessed and often experienced the brutal heart of the occupation--checkpoints, curfews, closures, demolished homes, the ‘security’ wall, refugee camps, and—on the Israeli side--sites of terrible suicide bombings. The women marched by candlelight in Jenin, above. In Nablus and Erez, they managed to send infant food into those isolated areas.
