PARENTS CIRCLE – FAMILIES FORUM

The Parents Circle – Families Forum is an association of 600 bereaved Israelis and Palestinians who have lost an immediate family member in the conflict.

They are working hand in hand together, sharing sorrow, bringing hope by trying to stop acts of violence through reconciliation – a prerequisite to achieving a sustainable peace.

The organization uses all resources available in education, public meetings and the media to spread these ideas.
