Gender Giving Forum- Gender Violence in Israeli Society

Tuesday, June 19, 2023 | 3:00pm – 6:00pm IDT |
Jerusalem

The Gender Giving Forum invites members of the network to an in-depth learning session on gender violence. Gender violence is a severe social issue evident across all parts of Israeli society, in which women, children, the family, and society as a whole are harmed. The extent of the phenomenon in Israeli society requires a comprehensive discussion on the social, legal, and economic implications.

We will learn about multi-sector intervention programs and explore the unique response that the philanthropic community can give in terms of prevention, policy change, and eradicating the phenomenon.
