Itach-Maaki Women Lawyers for Social Justice
Itach-Maaki Women Lawyers for Social Justice is an Israeli advocacy organization working to create a society in which the needs of disenfranchised Arab and Jewish women are addressed and the voices of these women are heard in public/policy discourse. Via legal aid, policy change, leadership training for women and public advocacy, Itach-Maaki is advancing the rights of women from marginalized groups nationwide - Arab women – including Bedouin women, single mothers, low-income working women, women dependent on public assistance, immigrants and others. Simultaneously, this multicultural group of women lawyers and activists is working toward a society in which women’s solidarity and identification with a shared vision for justice can overcome the ethnic/national fragmentation that is so problematic in Israel. |
