Follow the Women: To Peace and Justice

Follow the Women in Beit Sahour

"Follow the Women" is an organization of women cyclists that rode their bicycles from Aleppo through Lebanon and Jordan to the West Bank in solidarity with Palestinians. Half of them were not allowed by the Israelis to cross the border from Jordan. The ride included Palestinian women cyclists who had recently formed their own cycling club (whether they will be able to cycle around in the prison they live in is another issue).

Despite how much women are beaten down both by the men outside their ethnic/religious group as well as their own ethnic/religious group they always seem to be the ones being proactive and making positive change. Funny isn't it?

There is something to this. I would hesistate to formulate a theory about it, but there's definitely something to it.
