Support the Women’s Boat to Gaza
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition will
send a message of hope and solidarity
to the people of Gaza
The Women's Boat to Gaza
(WBG) is a Freedom Flotilla Coalition
(FFC*) initiative. By launching a women’s
boat, women from all over the world
aim to highlight the undeniable contributions
and indomitable spirit of Palestinian
women who have been central within the
Palestinian struggle in Gaza, the West
Bank, inside the Green Line and in the
diaspora.
Gaza has been under Israeli blockade
for the past decade during which Israel
has also launched countless attacks
against the besieged population, turning
their lives into a nightmare and a continuous
struggle. The physical wars have not
only invaded the economies, markets
and the land of Gaza, but have raided
and assaulted homes, families, schools,
and national museums, destroying civilization,
heritage, culture, memory and hopes.
Through Freedom Flotillas and other
naval missions we have protested against
the passivity and complicity of the
international community,
especially western governments.
Simultaneously and as importantly, we
have called for civil society solidarity
with the Palestinian resistance.
The Women's Boat to Gaza
will challenge the Israeli blockade
and show solidarity with and bring a
message of hope to the Palestinian people.
With the support of women, men, non-governmental
organizations and civil society groups
we will make this happen.

* The FFC is composed of civil society
organizations and initiative from many

the illegal and inhumane Israeli blockade
of Gaza for years and are committed
to continue the struggle until the blockade
is unconditionally lifted and the Palestinian
people everywhere regain their full
rights.
