Jerusalem Open House for Pride and Tolerance is supported this year with their public advocacy campaign: Gender Democracy in the Jewish Conservative Momement. With this campaign, the Jerusalem Open House intends to foster gender democracy in the Jewish Conservative Movement, as part of the organization's overall mission of advancing a society more accepting of diversity. In working towards this goal the JOH aims to create and participate in coalitions that advance a LGBT inclusive social justice agenda. Specifically, the stated objective is to convince Schechter (the Rabbinical School of the Conservative Movement) to accept LGBT people to its Rabbinical program in Israel, as its counterparts in North America already do.


The Working Group for Equality in Personal Status Issues: The Working Group  is launching the second phase of a multi-stage raising awareness campaign to challenge the phenomenon of polygamy (the marrying of multiple wives) in Palestinian society in a project titled Targeting Polygamy in the Palestinian Community. Despite the existence of civil legislation to restrict it, polygamy is still prevalent across the Palestinian minority in Israel, and is often given widespread legitimacy, even with the social, psychological and financial damages it incurs on families. The Working Group's campaign will seek to challenge the very discourse surrounding polygamy in the community through public awareness activity on the national level. Coming on the heels of a year-long research phase into the many attitudes towards polygamy across Palestinian society, the second phase will involve a 'campaign to change minds', based on large-scale public events, wide-scale print media publicity, outreach events, public lectures, and articles in the national press.


International Women's Film Festival, Israel: This year, the International Women's Film Festival will focus on women in constant conflict areas. The program: Women in War Zones - Films From Here, is supported by the Heinrich Boell foundation. The program's objective is to expose Israeli audiences to films of Israeli and Palestinian filmmakers who deal differently with the lives of women in th conflict - bringing forward the voices missing from the dominant narrative. Women’s perspectives must be taken into account when considering peace and security issues. This festival, granting Israeli and Palestinian women visibility and a voice, truthfully resonates UN Resolution 1325 on its tenth anniversary.
