Women and Peace Platform

Women and Peace Platform This platform was started by a group of Canadian Middle Eastern women in advocating peace in the Midd We want the Platform to serve as a hub of information.

This platform was started by a small group of Torontonian women from Turkish and Kurdish backgrounds. What brought us together is our shared concern about the latest conflict and violence in different regions of the Middle-East. We started from the premise of seeking “Immediate Peace” through uniting women from the regions of our concern. Our goal is to build on the combined insights of women into

an effective power of change, and work diligently until peace is attained. We fully realize that our goal is challenging, and there are countless hurdles before us that can block our efforts. However, we also believe that warfare and militarism pose threats against women’s safety, well-being, equality and development. We believe that there is no other alternative than peace, so we are calling upon all Canadian women’s organizations representing women’s concerns in the Middle East to join us. As a first step, we are organizing a walk entitled “Women and Peace Platform”. Our walk will take place on March the 5th, along with the International Women’s Day celebrations in Toronto. Ultimately, we want to take leadership in bridging differences and opening venues for dialogue by organizing seminars, workshops and panels.
