Goals
WFP hope to foster better understanding amongst Australians of the Palestinian struggle for justice, freedom, peace and self-determination, and give Australians the confidence to protest what WFP deem as violations being carried out against the Palestinians in defiance of international law, UN resolutions and human rights conventions.
WFP intends to create a space for women to inform, protest and express their frustrations over perceived Australian media bias. Over four years, WFP held weekly vigils in Melbourne's CBD to provide a familiar presence for Palestine and a point of contact for people wanting to know more about the issues.

Famous quotes containing the word goals:
“Let us beware of saying there are laws in nature. There are only necessities: there is no one to command, no one to obey, no one to transgress. When you realize there are no goals or objectives, then you realize, too, that there is no chance: for only in a world of objectives does the word “chance” have any meaning.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“If people would forget about utopia! When rationalism destroyed heaven and decided to set it up here on earth, that most terrible of all goals entered human ambition. It was clear there’d be no end to what people would be made to suffer for it.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
“Our ego ideal is precious to us because it repairs a loss of our earlier childhood, the loss of our image of self as perfect and whole, the loss of a major portion of our infantile, limitless, ain’t-I-wonderful narcissism which we had to give up in the face of compelling reality. Modified and reshaped into ethical goals and moral standards and a vision of what at our finest we might be, our dream of perfection lives on—our lost narcissism lives on—in our ego ideal.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
