Hagar Rublev

Hagar Rublev, also Roublev, (1954–2000) was an Israeli peace activist and lesbian feminist. In January 1988, she was an inspiring co-founder of the pacifist movement Women in Black which was created to protest violations of human rights by Israeli soldiers in the new Palestinian territories, occupied since 1967. Rublev later helped to create Bat Shalom, a feminist peace movement designed to resolve the conflict by ensuring coordination between Israeli and Palestinian women. She was also an active supporter of the rights of lesbians.
