Empowering Israeli Women

Report | June 1, 1998 | 99 pages

This report presents the findings of a survey of Israeli voters conducted for the Israel Women’s Network in 1998. The principal findings emphasize women’s political outlook, women and the political process, women’s issues and the vote, and segmenting the women’s vote. The results of this research suggest that the time is ripe for the emergence of a new women’s politics in Israel. This is not necessarily a politics that will advantage an existing party or create a new one—though either or both of those outcomes is a possibility. Rather, it is a politics in which women will at last rise from subjects to participants in Israeli politics, obliging all the parties to compete to advance their concerns as a condition for winning votes.
