Activism for peace

Quaker Peace and Social Witness provides volunteers to accompany local Palestinian and Israeli peace activists in their non-violent actions and advocacy efforts to end the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

The volunteers monitor and report on violations of human rights and international law and undertake awareness raising and education work on return to their home countries.
