Cross-Border Jerusalem: Women's Equality through Language
What is linguistic justice, why is it important, and how are Israeli and Palestinian women working together to create real change across Jerusalem? Lissan is a nonprofit organization that promotes linguistic justice in Jerusalem, and through their program Medabrot Ivrit (Women Speaking Hebrew), they teach Hebrew conversational skills to women in East Jerusalem, directly responding to the unique challenges these women face on a daily basis. Coming on the heels of women's history month, join IAN, Lissan, and Amal-Tikva for a conversation with Lia and Sondos, two volunteer teachers in the Medabrot Ivrit program who are using language education to promote a more just Jerusalem. Additionally, find out what you and your network can do to support their work.
