Bat Kol, in collaboration with women’s groups from the LGBTQ+ community, led the Pride Women’s Conference under the theme: “Pride Women Take the Lead”—because no one will advance the rights of queer women if we don’t take the reins ourselves.

On April 7th, thanks to the generous support of the Ramat Gan Municipality, 160 women from all sectors gathered for a single purpose: to drive change. Together. We discussed activism, feminism, and the rights of queer women.

This was just the opening shot. Join us on Facebook or via email at Info@bat-kol.org.
