Itach Maaki -Women Lawyers for Social Justice & Haifa University

This project is a unique cooperation between Itach-Maaki-Women Lawyers for Social Justice and the Haifa University's Faculty of Law and includes other partners from Israeli civil society and the general public. The program aims to advance access to justice for women from disadvantaged communities and other marginalized individuals in Israel and promote greater gender and cultural sensitivity within the academic and state legal systems. Since its establishment in 2005, the program has trained more than 50 women legal leaders and more than 80 law students and provided ongoing support for more than 15 active seed projects, dealing with diverse issues such as: the rights of divorced Druze women, access to justice for Palestinian-Israeli women, the rights of women with disabilities in accessing health services, and support to women previously involved in prostitution.
