Naamat
The Movement for the Advancement of the Status of Women in Israel works to prevent the phenomena of
violence against women within the family and in society. NA`AMAT operates two centers for the prevention
and treatment of violence,–the Glickman Center in Tel Aviv , under one roof, serves as a shelter for battered
women and their children, and a counseling and treatment center for battered women, violent men, and
children exposed to violence. It houses Jewish and Arab Women, veterans and new immigrants, secular and
traditionally observant.
The Lone Soldier Center
The Lone Soldier Center was established in memory of Michael Levin as a grass-roots, Israeli non-profit
organization created by former lone soldiers in order to assist the next generation of lone soldiers in all
aspects of life, in the military and out. A “lone soldier” is a soldier in the IDF with no family in Israel to
support him or her: a new immigrant, a volunteer from abroad, an orphan or an individual from a broken
home. Lone Soldiers don’t always have the basic items necessary for their military service, or families living
in Israel that can support them. Lone Soldier Centers, throughout the country, serve as their back-up homes.
Items needed:
The Centers supply lone soldiers with personal care items, donated by you, that they need while on duty.
Items needed include Leatherman utility tools, black watches, protective sunglasses, dried fruits, nuts and
energy bars, flip flops, underwear, sports bras, active wear, gloves, winter socks and hats, new toiletries.
