Description of Organization:
Bat Melech provides the only shelters in Israel for battered women from the religious community.
Each year, hundreds of women and children who are victims of domestic violence receive protection at Bat Melech’s shelters, together with full legal assistance, comprehensive psychological and social services, vocational training and economic support. Bat Melech offers a warm, supportive environment and religious atmosphere where these women and their children can feel at home during this stressful time. To date, Bat Melech has assisted over 5000 women and children, empowering them to break the cycle of violence and giving them the tools to begin new lives filled with dignity, productivity and self-respect.
