The resistance in Budrus was characterized and distinguished by a very high level of participation among young women from the town
Showing resistance against Israeli forces has become second nature for the women in Budrus. For over a decade now the women keep each other updated on event in the village including when Israeli forces are approaching. In the most recent event last month women gathered together to prevent the demolition of a home. They place emphasis on non-violence in their protests. The women’s goal is to resist against Israeli occupation and to keep soldiers out of the village. These women are building a new generation of resistance as they have their children join them in their protests. Most events are a spur of the moment, but through word of mouth they always have support from neighbors and friends. They’re teaching their families that they are stronger than the Israeli forces, and that together they can fight Israeli occupation in the West Bank.
