General Information

Isha L’Isha is a member organization—a community of feminist activists, governed by a Collective that includes all of its members and is open to all women. The Collective meets once a month to discuss ideological issues and set strategy and policy. Decisions regarding policy—what issues are pressing for our members, how we should work and with whom we should cooperate—are decided by consensus in our monthly Collective meetings. Most of our funding is from the US and Europe. Strategies and modalities: advocacy, awareness-raising, research, networking, coalition-building. Partners: formal and informal partners include women's and human rights organizations, both local and international.
