"Juliet Stevenson, one of Britain's most recognisable actors who is widely regarded as a national treasure, has taken on a new role over the past two years. She has become a leading voice for Palestinians, marching at rallies, making speeches, signing protest letters, writing columns and producing films using every opportunity to spell out the brutality of Israel's atrocities on Gaza and the occupied West Bank."
"The famous mothers want Justine Roberts, the founder, to pressure the United Kingdom's government to demand that Israel allow maternity clinics stuck in Egypt into Gaza and give access to NGOs trying to deliver aid especially items essential to women and girls, such as menstrual and hygiene supplies. Mumsnet has said Roberts will meet with the group. Al Jazeera spoke with Stevenson about why she believes British mothers should offer moral support to Palestinian parents,"
Juliet Stevenson has become a prominent campaigner for Palestinian rights over the past two years, participating in rallies, speeches, protest letters, columns and films. She joined over 100 cultural figures in a letter to Mumsnet urging the founder to press the UK government to demand Israeli allowance of maternity clinics stuck in Egypt into Gaza and greater NGO access to deliver aid. The appeal emphasizes items essential to women and girls, including menstrual and hygiene supplies. Mumsnet has said its founder will meet the group. Stevenson links her activism to concerns of British mothers and accepts career risks to speak out.
