WIZO – Education & Counselling

While it is important to advocate for women suffering from abuse, it is equally important for both men and women to be educated in vital life skills and to avoid negative choices and violations. Consequently, WIZO has initiated the Mine and Only Mine nationwide domestic violence prevention program, which identifies and prevents violence during the early dating phase of romantic relationships. The program focuses on young women and men, aged 16 to 26 years.  

Often women going through a painful separation and/or divorce need support, and through WIZO branches in Israel, women are able to participate in a two-month course titled Continuing the Way. Led by volunteer counsellors, the course enables women to come together to empower and encourage each other through shared experiences, counselling and practical advice.
