Location
Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW) is an annual international series of events held in cities and campuses across the globe. The aim of IAW is to educate people about the nature of Israel as an apartheid system and to build boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) campaigns as part of a growing global BDS movement. IAW 2011 will be held in over 70 cities around the world.
IAW 2011 takes place following two years of incredible successes for the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement on the global level. Lectures, films, and actions will highlight some of these successes along with the many injustices that continue to make BDS so crucial in the battle to end Israeli apartheid. Join us in making 2011 a year of struggle against apartheid and for justice, equality, and peace.
