International Human Rights Volunteers Needed in Palestine

The  International  Women’s Peace Service (IWPS) is a small team of international female human-rights activists in Palestine.

We:

• provide accompaniment to Palestinian civilians (including farmers during the annual olive harvest),

• document and non-violently intervene in human-rights abuses

• support Palestinians in their non-violent resistance to end the Israeli military occupation and construction of the barrier throughout the West Bank.

IWPS is run entirely by volunteers, committed to peace and justice.

IWPS is currently inviting applications from women who would like to join our team of long-term volunteers.

Successful applicants will be invited to one of our 6 day training programs (European training scheduled Autumn 2011; US training scheduled Sept 2011) and will serve a minimum of one 3 month term in the West Bank, Palestine, as well as supporting our work outside of Palestine.

Applicants should be able to commit to further terms in Palestine of one to three months for a three year period.

Short term volunteers are also welcome to apply (through our usual application process) for minimum volunteer periods of 3 weeks

For more information and to download an application pack please go to: www.iwps.info or contact us on applyiwps@gmail.com

Please apply as soon as possible to be considered for the next training, as places are limited.
