Help us advance the rights of all women in Israel!
Your donation will enable us to change the legal discourse regarding womens rights & needs, especially women of diverse population groups who are unable to obtain legal advice to realize their rights.
Itach Ma’aki – Women Lawyers for Social Justice was established in 2001 to give voice to women subject to social, geographic, national, ethnic and economic discrimination in Israeli society.
Itach-Ma'aki's vision is that Israeli law will reflect the unique perspectives of women from all social groups and ensure that they are able to fully exercise their rights.
In order to achieve its goal, Itach-Ma'aki provides free legal aid and representation for women, in various areas of the law, at each of its branches in Tel Aviv, Beer Sheva and Haifa.
Together with women from various communities, Itach-Ma'aki promotes female leadership through our City for All program. The program aims to create innovative community models, which contribute to the development of unique and groundbreaking legal feminist projects.Itach-Ma'aki also champions the implementation of two UN resolutions here in Israel: UNSCR 1325 on Women, Peace, and Security; as well as the Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. These two resolutions have been ratified and signed into law by the Israeli government, but require strong civil society efforts to ensure proper implementation.Itach-Ma'aki also advocates wide-ranging policies in the Knesset, the High Court of Justice and various government ministries, and has had significant achievements in this area, which have impacted many groups of women.
