5th Annual International Israeli Apartheid Week
March 1-8, 2009
Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW) is an international series of events held in cities and on campuses across the globe. The aim of IAW is to contribute to the chorus of international opposition to Israeli apartheid and to bolster support for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. IAW will be running for the fifth consecutive year in 2009, with events taking place between the 1st and 8th of March. The week's events will include lectures, multimedia events, cultural performances, film screenings, demonstrations, and more.
