Women
in Black Against War
March 8 2003
Doves among the Peace Lilies
Women of the network Women in Black against War
marked International Women's Day by decorating Kew Gardens with messages
of peace. Surprised visitors found Picasso's delicate drawing of a
woman and dove sprouting among the the peace lilies and staked out
among the daffodils.
Women in Black's trip to Kew was a gesture of solidarity with women
in theMiddle East. They are calling on the Prime Minister to pull
back from the threatened attack on Iraq, reminding him of the appalling
cost in human life it will entail. They urge him instead to support
continued UN monitoring and to take an urgent new initiative to bring
justice to Palestine and peace to Israelis.
The women's action had history in mind. They chose Kew Gardens to
recall the suffragette's bold demonstration at Kew in their struggle
for the vote. The Princess Diana orchid conservatory was a natural
focus of attention because of Diana's well-known commitment to banning
landmines. The famous woman-and-dove image was drawn by Picasso as
a gift to the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom.
Great care was taken during this event to cause no damage to property
or plants.
Women in Black against War is an international network of women opposed
to militarism and war. There are currently 23 branches active in the
UK. www.womeninblack.org.uk
