WIzo is a lifestyle. Our aim is to work for the people in Israel and give them a better future. Our mission is the well-being of women and their status, contrasting domestic violence and promoting women in public life. Our challenge is also towards children in difficulty to protect and educate them, guaranteeing them a second chance of life.
