On June 2 the Workshop on the subject “Struggle against Poverty in the Arab Society” was organized in cooperation with Mossawa.
MK’s Merav Ben Ari (Kulanu), Itzik Shmuli (Machane Hazioni), and high-level civil servants, Head of Arab Local Councils, Head of Welfare Departments in Local Councils, Social Workers and Academics participated in the Study Day.
The objective of the Study Day was on the one hand to identify practical tools in the State Budget which could reduce Poverty in Arab Society and on the other hand to examine ways of coping with challenges on the municipal level – such as finding answers for social needs: unemployment, labour market, planning and housing, violence, education and welfare of families.
