Prayers for Peacemakers 15 March 2017

Last week the world commemorated the International Women’s
Day. Also we would like to acknowledge the power and leading role of women in
struggle for justice and peace all around the world.

Let us pray for all women members of the CPT projects, for
all the women in the Administrative team and all our women partners around the
world. Each and every one of them does amazing things in order to build a
better world. Let us pray for all girls around the world. Let us pray for a
better future for them.

Let us pray for men as well, because they need to overcome
sexism and work as allies of women in their struggles. Let us pray and work
together for a better world where all women, men and every individual have the
same opportunities, same access to justice, education and social securities,
and freedom to live in peace and for peace.

These gates have become symbols of fragmentation, control, and hardship in the lives of ordinary Palestinians.
