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:
“Whoever sincerely believes that elevated and distant goals are as little use to man as a cow, that “all of our problems” come from such goals, is left to eat, drink, sleep, or, when he gets sick of that, to run up to a chest and smash his forehead on its corner.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“If you really think about it, everything is wonderful in this world, everything except for our thoughts and deeds when we forget about the loftier goals of existence, about our human dignity.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“I think that any woman who sets goals for herself and takes her own life seriously and moves to achieve the goals that she wants as a person in her own right is a feminist.”
—Frances Kuehn (b. 1943)
