** The Twinning Network Women’s Visit 2008 AIMS

The visit has the following aims:
To spread awareness of the human rights situation in Palestine - in other words to tell as many people as possible what is going on in Palestine, and specially to encourage people who are new to this issue to be active about it
To bring women from twinning groups in Palestine to meet with their partners in the twinning groups in England so they can work with them to build and extend the Britain-Palestine twinning work in England and to discuss together next steps in their twinning links
In particular to develop women's links between Britain and Palestine as part of wider twinning links
To promote twinning/ friendship links between Britain and Palestine including encouraging the development of new twinning links
And to help bring the twinning network work together.

Public meetings
We hope each public meeting will include
a chance for a number of women to speak about their experiences, including telling about life under Israeli occupation and the human rights situation for Palestinians.
a speaker to talk about the local twinning links and/ or a speaker from the Twinning Network to explain what twinning and friendship links can do.
