  • As of 2009, Coalition of Women for Peace (CWP) has ten members, including New Profile, Bat Shalom, Machsom Watch and Women in Black, and provides an additional platform by which these NGOs promote their campaigns.
  • In 2006-2008, the New Israel Fund (NIF) authorized grants worth $285,509 to CWP (2006, 2007, 2008).
  • “Major donors” since 2000 include the European Union, Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung (587,189 NIS from the German government), Heinrich Böll Stiftung (from the German government), the Moriah Fund, Aaron Back and the Ford Israel Fund, and SIVMO. (This funding does not include support for individual NGOs in the coalition.)
  • Reflecting its political agenda, CWP states that it “is committed to the struggle to end the occupation”; claims “to act for peace, justice, and equality in the Israeli Society,” and uses demonization rhetoric such as referring to the security barrier as “The Apartheid Wall.” CWP also joined “Zochrot” and “New profile” in celebration of “The 59th Anniversary of the Naqba” during Israel’s Independence Day.
  • CWP promotes the Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement through a project entitled “Who Profits from the Occupation,” “exposing companies and corporations involved in the occupation.”
  • Also involved in campaigns against Ahava cosmetics and Agrexco produce in Italy, and in support of the Berkeley divestment vote.
  • Lobbied the British government in December 2009 to “Enable Prosecution of Israeli War Criminals.”
  • Together with other NIF grantees, including Israel Social TV, Kayan, Machsom Watch, Mossawa and Women against Violence, as well as ICAHD, Zochrot and AIC, CWP wrote to the Norwegian Government Pension Fund and called “upon the Norwegian people to join us in our efforts and to stop investing in the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory.” This letter accused a number of Israeli and international corporations of “provid[ing] specifically designed equipment for the surveillance and repression of Palestinian population through restrictions of movement and collective punishments.”
  • CWP brought the controversial play “Seven Jewish Children - A Play for Gaza” to Israel as part of its “10 days against the siege” campaign.
  • Supports Israelis who refuse to serve in the army. Also hosted a lecture with Tali Fahima (a “political prisoner”) who was convicted for contact with terrorists.
