In partnership with Itach: Lawyers for Social Justice, the Working Group for Equality in Personal Status Issues is a coalition (including the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, Kayan, the Israel Women's Network, Women Against Violence, and the Altufula Center - Nazareth) working to promote the rights of Arab Israeli women by securing enforcement of current law (e.g., giving Arab women the right to take divorce, alimony, and custody issues to family rather than religious courts, thereby giving Arab women equal rights to Jewish women); by improving women's treatment in religious courts; by advocating for increased budgets to add court services for women; by strengthening legislation (e.g., raising the legal age for marriage from 17 to 18 to match timing of majority and allow Arab girls to finish high school); and by building general public awareness of Arab women's issues through lectures, workshops, publications, and media outreach.

One of the coalition's outstanding accomplishments of the past three years is the establishment of the Haifa Courtroom Station, which provides materials on women's legal rights and legal options and guides women through legal procedures. In 2008, a second courtroom station was established in Nazareth based on the Haifa model.
