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:
“Despicable means used to achieve laudable goals renders the goals themselves despicable.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“Artists have a double relationship towards nature: they are her master and her slave at the same time. They are her slave in so far as they must work with means of this world so as to be understood; her master in so far as they subject these means to their higher goals and make them subservient to them.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“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)
