A Call to Action: Trust Life, Evolve Beyond War
We are inspired by a vision articulated by A’ida Shibli and Miki Kashtan, who have been accompanying us for over a year. As of September 2025, we are experimenting with making all our own decisions about how we might translate their vision into a reality on the ground.
The Vision
We imagine… 100,000 women dressed in white coming to a war zone. They are forming a nonviolent human shield.
They are coming from all over the world, including regions party to the war whenever movement is possible. They are spanning all nationalities, all religions, all shades of skin, hair, and eye colour, and all ages. They are standing together to protect everyone, regardless of “side”, political affiliation, or national identity.
They are committed and deeply trained, and they are determined to use the power of nonviolence to call everyone back to their humanity. They have trust in their capacity to stop the war and create a foundation for a peaceful approach to addressing the conflict that led to the war.
They act as one body, rooted in nonviolence, loving life, vital, and full of faith.
