position at the heart of families and communities.

•Equip women with the tools to challenge extremist
thinking and to advocate for alternatives to violent
extremism.

•Promote dialogue about and provide mutual
support for ending violent extremism.

gather evidence for needs-based project
implementation.
Phyllis Rodriguez & Aicha el-Wafi
            build bridges after 9/11
•Phyllis Rodriguez lost her son
in the 9/11 attacks.

•Aicha el-Wafi is the mother of
Zacarias Moussaoui, the first person
ever to be tried in a US court on
charges of involvement in the
9/11 attacks.

•Phyllis and Aicha formed a strong
bond over the years; together they advocate
against all forms of violent extremism.
NIGERIA
•Christian pastor Esther
Ibanga and Muslim scholar
Khadija Hawaja came together
to end the violence in Nigeria.

the threat of violent extremism
brought them closer together.

 Addressing mothers as key players
  in the process of prevention and
  deradicalization.

 Identifying ways to engage women
  as critical actors in their
  communities.

 Identifying the tools they need to act
  as early warning systems in their
  immediate environment.
Mothers‘ Schools

 Increasing mothers’ self-
  confidence to counter violent-
  extremism through a strategic
  course.

 Identifying local and
  international trainers to deliver
  additional free courses in a wide
  range of topics such as health,
  language and parenting.
ISRAEL & PALESTINE

•Robi Damelin and Siham Abu
Awwad reached out to one another
across the divide of the conflict and
formed a strong alliance.

• They are determined to achieve a
‘human solution’ for the ongoing
conflict by reaching out to other
mothers on both sides.

•It’s not enough to merely include
women and mothers in the peace
process; they must be among the
leaders.
Takeaways from SAVE‘s field visit to
 Israel & Palestine in February 2012
 Both Palestinian and Israeli mothers wish for a more stable and
  prosperous future for their children.
 Palestinian mothers are increasingly worried that their children might
  become involved in violent activities.
 Israeli mothers are often concerned when their children are obliged to
  join the army.

 The suffering of a Palestinian
  mother who lost her son/daughter
  in the conflict is the same as the
  pain of an Israeli mother who lost
  hers.
 By connecting on a human
  level, these mothers become
  able to see eye to eye and ‘use
  their pain as a power’ to
  achieve reconciliation and
  peace.
