The goal of the Center for Women’s Justice (CWJ) is to safeguard the basic human rights and dignity of Jewish women who appear before the rabbinic and family courts in the State of Israel.

Working creatively within Jewish law and the civil legal system, CWJ is dedicated to finding a full and comprehensive answer to the challenges of Jewish women and divorce: the agunah, get refusal, and the mamzer.

CWJ's works both from the top down (through the legislature and the courts) and from the bottom up (grassroots) to develop strategic solutions to the problem of Jewish women and divorce. Our goal is to prevent problems for women before they happen, rather than solve them on a case by case basis.
