Our purpose

An alternative Haredi leadership, of women and men alike

We are not asking to replace Haredi leadership but to widen it: a leadership women take part in, equally and respectfully. Three lines of work lead there.

01Line

Raising awareness

Turning representation from a taboo into a conversation. The means: the podcast Haredit Meduberet, writing in the Haredi and general press, conferences and community circles.

02Line

Training leadership

HaNivcheret, our leadership program: nine cohorts since 2018, about 20 activists in each. Alumnae carry the ideas onward and build the partnerships that widen Haredi feminist discourse.

→ The program
03Line

Law, policy and halakha

From the petitions against exclusionary party bylaws, through position papers and Knesset lobbying, to clarifying what halakha itself says about women in politics.

→ Advocacy

Come be part of the change Nivcharot is making in the world
