Our Mission

Jewish Women International, founded in 1897 as B'nai Brith Women, honors the concept of tikkun olam — repairing the world-through education, advocacy and action. Guided by a vision of a safe world for women and children, each of our anti-violence initiatives promotes the highest form of tzedakah by helping women and children become independent and help themselves.

Looking forward, we see a new generation of women exploring their spirituality and invigorating our mothers' and grandmothers' organizational legacy with fresh ambition.
