Kol Ha-Isha was founded in 1994, as a grassroots multi-cultural women’s center that seeks to promote a feminist model for social change and to lay the foundation for social justice and peace. Kol Ha-Isha’s mission is to develop and promote a feminist multicultural model of social change, addressing social inequality, economic distress, power politics, militarism, intolerance and discrimination – and in particular, how these affect women.
Kol Ha-Isha is dedicated to empowering women from different, often marginalized socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds, religious affiliations, nationalities and sexual orientations.
KHI operates the only multicultural women's center in Jerusalem that empowers women holistically, providing them with tools and a safe space from which they can establish their place in civil society. Additional projects include a Counseling, Information and Referral Center, an Employment program for chronically unemployed women, a Community Kitchen project for entrepreneuring women aiming to open a culinary business and a Mentoring Program for women entrepreneurs.
In addition, Kol Ha-Isha operates ANATEA-a Women's Art Gallery, and holds open lectures and discussions for the general public on topics of women's interest (health issues, employee rights, etc.). KHI also takes part in a wide range of public actions to advance women's rights at various levels.
