A note from Lesley Sachs, PK-I Interim Director...
Shalom all,
Just a short note with great satisfaction. PKI women took part yesterday, for the first time, in a "Take back the night march" organized by the rape crises center in Tel Aviv.
We were the only ones with signs in Russian, one said "rape is a crime and rapists are criminals" and the other " women sometime sacrifice but we are not willing to be sacrifices ." Our women felt very excited to be part of their first protest/march in Israel. Here are some photos:
The second activity I feel very proud of is that that a group of our main activists and staff have started to be trained by our wonderful partners from PKI FSU on how to create, build and lead a PKI seminar. We have only started and it will take time to become professional but we have made the first step.
This week end we have one advanced leadership seminar (for 22 women) and one introductory seminar for 20 women. The group that has been trained by Svetlana will be taking part in the facilitating and leading of the seminars with the assistance of Olfra finogenova and Vlada who will be coming .
We are so proud that PKI is strong enough to move to the new phase of activism.
