Noga, a non-profit organization, is an innovative union of information and action. Noga started life in 1980 when a group of women from differing professional backgrounds got together and created Israel’s first and still, if not its only, certainly it’s most prominent feminist magazine. Noga was born out of a need to give women a platform from which they could air their unique voice. Since its auspicious beginnings Noga has developed and evolved and is now not only a magazine of consistently high standards but a vibrant organization. Noga’s activities include organizing symposiums, conferences and workshops, on issues pertaining to women and women’s status. Campaigning and lobbying, aimed at achieving greater representation of women in politics at all levels, and changing the attitudes of the courts towards women.

Noga combines a striving for equality with an aspiration for peace and works in collaboration and cooperation with other groups in the achievement of both.
