National Council of Jewish Women
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) is a volunteer organization, inspired by Jewish values, that works to improve the quality of life for women, children, and families, and to ensure individual rights and freedoms for all through its network of 90,000 members, supporters, and volunteers nationwide.
For over a century, the National Council of Jewish Women has been at the forefront of social change -- championing the needs of women, children, and families -- while courageously taking a progressive stance on such issues as child welfare, women's rights, and reproductive freedom.
NCJW was formed under the leadership of social activist Hannah Greenebaum Solomon at the 1893 World Parliament of Religions in Chicago to to "shape the destinies" of American lives.
