The Women's Israel Network (IWN) is one of the leading and longstanding women's organizations in the country. IWN has been actively working for over 38 years to promote gender equality, women's rights, and a more just Israeli society. Since its establishment, IWN has been operating through various channels to achieve these goals, including legal avenues through the courts and ongoing enforcement monitoring, promoting egalitarian legislation and government policies, conducting research, and raising public awareness through public relations and communication efforts. IWN offers free legal assistance to women in the job market, particularly those who face multiple forms of discrimination. This helps them stay connected to the field while also collecting data to support policy and legal claims.
The IWN's strength lies in its vast experience in various fields, enabling it to impact multiple meaningful channels, including the Knesset, the legal system, rights enforcement, and diverse communication platforms. The focal points of IWN's work since its establishment include:
Advancing gender equality in the job market, supporting equal opportunities, fair treatment, and non-discrimination;
Advocating for equal allocation of public resources, ensuring fair and responsive distribution of funding, services, and opportunities;
Eliminating gender segregation in public spaces;
Increasing the representation of women in decision-making roles;
Combating violence against women through legal advocacy, awareness campaigns, and supporting survivors;
Providing free legal assistance and support to women in the job market, with a priority for populations facing multiple forms of discrimination.
