Women Wage Peace (WWP) is a large, non-partisan Israeli grassroots peace movement, founded in 2014 during the Gaza War, that advocates for an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through a negotiated political solution that includes the active participation of women. The movement is known for its diverse membership across religious, ethnic, political, and secular lines, as well as for its collaborations with the Palestinian movement, Women of the Sun, to promote a shared vision for peace and security. WWP's strategies include marches, street presence, parliamentary work, and community engagement to build popular support for peace and to pressure decision-makers for a diplomatic resolution
