read from our young women:

Leadership, feminism “Leadership, feminism, woman’s rights, seemed to me at the beginning big, scary words. Now after a year in Nisan’s program these words became a part of my being! Nisan has given me a lot and in return I want to give my society from what I learned, I want to change things and I am sure that I will succeed” Samar, age 16, Haifa The discussions in my group "The discussions in my LDP group have given me the will to change the way society relates to women and represents us, and especially to break the many stereotypes that exist about us. Also, I have learned not to compromise my values, and always to strive for the best." Maayan, age 17, Haifa Nisan helped me "Nisan helped me become aware that we girls can change the world we live in – beginning right here in our local community". Adi, age 15, Haifa Today, as a graduate "Today, as a graduate of Nisan, I am happy with myself and with my femininity -- I am a woman who is proud of herself". Mai, age 15, Igdayde Village
