You can find photos from the March by pressing on this link https://tinyurl.com/yanyt65t 28.11.2017 What is socialist feminism and how can it fight sexual violence? We had an interesting talk about socialist feminism and its' role in fighting sexual violence. The talk was organized by the leader of the Socialist Movement Fight.  8.12.2017 A glimpse of what our Bazaar looked like! We had an amazing time at the bazaar we held in the beginning of December. We would like to thank the company comme il faut for donating clothes, and all the women who had donated clothing items, and volunteered preparing the bazaar, selling and dismantling! We would also like to thank everyone who came! All profits from this event were donated to Isha L'Isha-Haifa Feminist Center and support the center in its various work fields, such as: supporting and assisting trafficking and prostitution survivors, writing position papers, groups to raise awareness concerning feminist issues, lectures and workshops, maintain our archive, library and of course the research center and much more.

How does she survive in a house which is not her, supports her family, and raises children? Rachel Sagi is organizing a series of fascinating meetings with women who would like to have their voices heard. They speak of their stories openly, harshly, painfully, and something, even comically. How do they see Israeli society, from the North and South and religious and secular, and working in houses of families who are different from each other?    Artist: André da Loba Feminism and Motherhood  One of the most challenging issues to deal with as feminists is motherhood. If you are also thinking about your experience as a mother, your relations with others and have thoughts which you want to share but don't know with whom, we invite you to join a new group called "Feminist moms", we will meet once a month, on Tuesdays, at Isha L'Isha, Arlozorov 118, Haifa.
