Access Your Rights

From the Classroom Back to the Community: Women Realizing Their Rights and Supporting Their Families

20210919_172340.jpg

Lissan’s Access Your Rights project complements our Hebrew courses by directly addressing the needs our students raise. The program provides practical knowledge, tools, and information for navigating healthcare, education, employment, and social services, enabling Palestinian women in East Jerusalem to realize their rights and access essential information for themselves and their families.


The project bridges language learning with real-world action, allowing women to use the Hebrew they have learned to understand forms, contact relevant authorities, and navigate public institutions with greater confidence.

How it Works

The program offers practical workshops and lectures, hands-on tools, and partnerships with local institutions and organizations. Content is shaped by needs emerging from the field and is regularly updated in response to changes in policy and public services.

Topics include:

  • Finding work and reading pay slips

  • Household financial management

  • Navigating the National Insurance Institute

  • Municipal taxes (property tax) and municipal rights

  • Rights of disabled people

  • Child allowances and rental assistance

  • Using Zoom and basic computer skills

  • Familiarity with municipal services

  • Higher education opportunities and pathways

  • Guided visits and introductions to municipal institutions
