Belgian Solidarity

The Palestinian Working Woman Society for Development continues to receive solidarity groups from Belgium, in an attempt to bridge gaps between the international solidarity movement and the Palestinian reality on ground. The group of 25 activists arrived at the organization’s headquarters in Ramallah, and was introduced to the organization’s mission by the PR desk. Officer Anne-Claire and assistant Saba Nader welcome the group at Al –Zuwadeh restaurant, and presented a PowerPoint presentation of the PWWSD’s profile. Afterward, the group headed to the near-by village Sengil, where they met with women representatives of the village’s cooperative. After a quick Palestinian lunch, the activists visited some of the confiscated lands around the village, and were accompanied by women from Sengil, who explained about the confiscation attempts, the building of settlements on the land of the village, and the ongoing settlers’ attacks on the farmers.

The group left Ramallah to Nablus, to continue their journey and widen their experience about the Palestinian reality in particular, and the Palestinian – Israeli conflict in general; eventually to be the messengers of the Palestinian Cause into the world.
