The first female Zionist Congress was launched in Jerusalem
Among the decisions of the Congress: the establishment of a national center for the recognition of gender-based violence, the creation of a plan for the treatment and prevention of this violence and the creation of programs and tools to encourage women to break through to the front of the stage and reach leadership positions
Under the joint initiative and leadership of women's organizations - Naamat Jerusalem, Wicho Jerusalem, Amuna Jerusalem, the Fund for Zionist Leadership, Sisters and Momentum with the Jerusalem Municipality and the World Zionist Organization - the first Women's Zionist Congress was launched today (Tuesday).
About 120 leading Jewish women from Israel and the world took part in the congress, which was held at the Shlava Center in Jerusalem, among them former MK Shuli Moalem, former MK Aliza Lavi, and former Tel Aviv Deputy Mayor Mehreta Baruch-Ron.
Alongside them, Daniel Aloni, who returned with her daughter from captivity in Gaza, as well as Sarit Zusman, the mother of the late Ben Zusman, an IDF fighter who fell in the battles in Gaza, also participated in the event, who told about their personal experiences.
The mayor of Jerusalem, Moshe Leon, in whose city the congress was held and the municipality under his leadership was one of its partners, greeted at the beginning of the event: "I am very happy to be here this morning, and to congratulate you on the important and pioneering initiative for the existence of this unique congress, which places at the forefront of the stage a central issue: the empowerment of the female voice. When we talk about the female voice, and the need to make it heard on every platform, we must, above all, remember the voices that have not been heard for over five months. The voices of the nineteen kidnapped women, held by Hamas, nineteen women, who experience Hell on earth. Even from this honorable platform, it is important for me to say, certainly on behalf of all present here: our abductees, like all the abductees, must be returned home now. The very fact that this congress is the fruit of a joint initiative, for which all organizations have joined together The central women in the city, and specifically in the city of Jerusalem, in collaboration with the department for the advancement of women in the municipality, is an accurate expression of the value of unifying leadership. I am proud of each and every one of them. Strength."
