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.
