Gali Bessudo, a Shatil staff member, is helping civil society organizations while standing up for her own community during the war

Civil society organizations are stepping in where Israel’s government falls short in the aftermath of the October 7 attacks.

Since April 10, over 550 new members have joined the grassroots movement Omdim Beyachad (Standing Together).

For decades Israelis with mental health disabilities have faced hurdles when trying to obtain welfare services. Effective advocacy is changing that.

Gali is part of the Movement for the Future of the Western Negev, which demands a political settlement to stop the violence along the boundary with Gaza.
