Women's Links

There are active Women’s Links groups in Camden and Abu Dis and we welcome your involvement. We work to make women in Camden aware of women’s lives in Palestine, to support women’s activities at Dar Assadaqa Abu Dis. We stay in touch with each other partly via the women’s blog.

Our big project 2009-2010 is the CADFA Anna Lindh Project Stories from our Mothers - click for more information.

Look out for

• A visit for Camden women to the West Bank in October- November 2009
• A visit for Palestinian women to Britain in March 2010
