Ni'ilin's women were supported in large numbers by female activists from Ramallah, Tul Karem, Tel-Aviv, Jerusalem, Sweden, Switzerland, France, and the USA among other places. The group, that also included a number of children, marched from the village's center toward the work site, when soldiers stopped them about a hundred meters from the machinery using sound bombs and teargas. The group dispersed a bit on the hill, but the wind followed them, so that about half of the women were able to stick by the soldiers while others retreated to safety and treatment. One elderly Palestinian woman was evacuated to the Ramallah hospital due to heart problems caused by teargas inhalation.

Because most could not attend the demonstration themselves, Ni'ilin's children had made many posters that were carried by the women, expressing their feelings about the wall and Palestine's freedom. There were not many chants on the way, but when the soldiers were reached, heated discussions were exchanged, with most women arguing why they should be allowed to the work site. There were many spurts of gas and sound bombs over the hour long demonstration, but, each time the group managed to move ahead closer to the working bulldozers.

During most of the demonstration a group of men from Ni'ilin looked on from the hillside curious and worried, and every once in a while soldiers fired tear gas canisters up the hill, especially for them. A TV crew from the Israeli Channel 1 arrived just in time to catch the last round of gas in person, and of course, even though they did mention the investigation surrounding Ashraf Abu Rahme's shooting, not word was said about the women's protest in tonight's news program. There was also no mention that the Palestinian from Ni'ilin arrested at today's demonstration is the father of the girl who shot the video bringing the case international attention. The other arrest of a Canadian citizen or injuries of the day, including ones caused by rubber bullets, gas exposure, or just plain bruises and scratches were not mentioned as well.
