"Women in Black" was inspired by earlier movements of women who demonstrated on the streets, making a public space for women to be heard - particularly Black Sash, in South Africa, and the Madres de la Plaza de Mayo, seeking the "disappeared" in the political repression in Argentina. But WIB also shares a genealogy with groups of women explicitly refusing violence, militarism and war, such as the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom formed in 1918, and the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp in the UK and related groups around the world opposing the deployment of US missiles in the eighties. ... Women in Black as we know it today began in 1988 in Israel. ... In other countries, including Canada, the USA, Australia, and many European countries, Women in Black vigils soon began to be organized in support of those in Israel. 2, record 1, English, - Women%20in%20Black

«Les Femmes en Noir» se sont inspirées d'anciens mouvements de femmes qui ont manifesté dans les rues pour faire entendre la voix des femmes dans l'espace public - en particulier le Black Sash en Afrique du Sud et les Madres de la Plaza de Mayo qui recherchaient les «disparus» de la répression politique en Argentine. Mais les Femmes en Noir partagent aussi une généalogie avec des groupes de femmes qui ont refusé explicitement la violence, le militarisme et la guerre comme la Ligue internationale des Femmes pour la Paix et la Liberté constituée en 1918 et les femmes du camp pour la paix de Greenham Common au Royaume-Uni ainsi qu'avec des groupes apparentés qui dans le monde se sont opposés au déploiement de missiles US dans les années 80. [...] Les Femmes en Noir telles qu'on les connaît aujourd'hui ont pris naissance en Israël en 1988. [...] Dans d'autres pays, y compris le Canada, les US et l'Australie et de nombreux pays européens, on se mit à organiser des vigiles de Femmes en Noir pour soutenir les Israéliennes. 3, record 1, French, - Women%20in%20Black
