The Israel Women’s Network is a not-profit organization comprised of women who are united in their determination to improve the status of women in Israel, regardless of political affiliation, religious outlook or ethnic origin. Established in 1984, it was the first organization in Israel dedicated to promoting women’s rights and equality. Since its beginnings, it has scored many successes, including: initiating laws such as the Sexual Harassment Prevention Law of 1998, representing precedent-setting lawsuits fighting discrimination in the workplace; passage of an amendment to the Family Courts Law, thereby enabling Muslim and Christian women to settle matters of maintenance and custody in civil courts; efforts to help women who have been refused divorce [agunot]; helping victims of sex trafficking and more.
