We call for a ceasefire, for strengthened international efforts to encourage dialogue, diplomacy and nonviolent means of securing peace for the people of Palestine and Israel. This is the way out of the circle of violence experienced by Palestinians and those held by Hamas.

We call for an end to bombing of #Yemen and for international support for peace efforts there, putting the interests of Yemeni people above all other considerations. Women’s full and effective involvement in peace negotiations is a must.

Peace can only be secured by justice, never by force of arms. Such a powerful message by #Cambridge Women in Black during their December vigil. You are very welcome to stand with them from 12pm to 1pm in the Market Square, the first Saturday of every month.

Once more, we call for a ceasefire in Gaza and safe return of all hostages. And as more reports of sexual violence committed against Israeli women emerge, it is vital to facilitate independent investigations and bring perpetrators to justice.

Women in Black Edinburgh: a dreich* day on Saturday, but we stood for the hour because standing for peace is important these days. Thinking of those left without homes in the too many conflicts around the world. *a Scottish word meaning depressing, miserable or cold.

The military contributes to high consumption of petroleum fuels and associated emissions, not included in the UK’s assessment of contribution to global warming. During #COP28 we urge the UK Government to develop a new approach: fund climate security, not wars.

Our message during #COP28: fund climate security, not wars. The UK should shift resources from the development of long-range offensive military technologies to technologies that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions or provide health and social benefits.
