Women walk for peace in Israel's Jordan Valley

3,000 Jewish, Arab, Jordanian, and American women took part in the third annual walk of Women Building Bridges, a forum dedicated to co-existence. Walking side by side, the women demonstrated their commitment to peace and dialogue.

The event was supported by local and international organizations and government agencies and included a cultural festival with bellydancing, salsa, arts and crafts, and cultural performances.

"Our joint aim is to strengthen the connections between women on both sides of the border, and to create a climate of communication and peace, fraternity, closeness, and communication among women of different backgrounds," said Ofir Auslander, one of the day's coordinators.

"We have to look at this as an opportunity to show that there are a lot of voices concerning peace," she said. "We are not politicians, but this gives us hope and the ability to say, in a different way, that we are concerned and that we are looking forward."
