Association for LGBTQ Equality in Israel is a human rights organization which focuses primarily on obtaining and fighting for equality. Our work reaches and is present in different aspects of society such as public, governmental and political arenas, media and social platforms, and more. Part of our mission is also to provide extensive assistance to LGBTQ individuals or groups in need. Our departments, clinics, staff and volunteers provide a range of professional services such as mental support, legal counseling, family mediation, assistance to refugees and immigrants, and assistance to any victim of discrimination or hatred on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. Since The Aguda’s founding in 1975 as the first Israeli LGBTQ oriented human rights organization, the association has spearheaded large scale public struggles for the community, and has worked for social and legislative change for the LGBTQ community – both nationally and in communities across the country in local pride communities. The Aguda also works towards the eradication of LGBTQ-Phobia and promotes the general national status of the community. No matter what color of the rainbow you identify as – we are here for you.
