Palestinian and Israeli women activists call for end to bloodshed

THE 51 PERCENT © FRANCE 24

As Israel's war with Hamas continues, thousands have been killed as the region teeters dangerously on the edge of a wider conflict that could result in direct US and Iranian involvement. At a moment when peace seems so incredibly far away, where does this leave women peace activists on both sides? Annette Young talks to Dr Yael Braudo-Bahat from Israel's Women Wage Peace and Palestinian activist Nivine Sandouka from the Alliance for Middle East Peace; both are calling for an immediate end to the bloodshed.

Also tens of thousands of women in Iceland go on strike to demand equal pay while protesting against gender-based violence. This in a country which is seen by many as a feminist paradise.
