Israeli Apartheid Week 2013 SCHEDULE : 11TH - 17TH MARCH


ISRAELI APARTHEID WEEK (IAW) is an annual international series of events (including rallies, lectures, cultural performances, music shows, films and workshops) held in cities, communities and campuses across the globe. IAW raises awareness of Israel's apartheid policies toward the indigenous Palestinians and serves to garner support for the non-violent Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel campaign which seeks to bring an end to Israel's apartheid policies and violations of international law.

Set to commence on Monday 11TH March till 17TH March.



MSA Chapters across South Africa have hosted PRE-IAW WORKSHOPS in the past week and are looking forward to the week ahead.

The Schedule below sets to outline the various events taking place during the week at Universities throughout the Country
