(continued): by supporting hundreds of social change organizations in 17 countries, AJWS responds to the most pressing issues of our time-from disasters, genocide and hunger to the persecution of women and minorities worldwide. AJWS pursues lasting change by supporting grassroots and global human rights organizations and by mobilizing supporters in the united states to advocate for global justice. AJWS's international grantmaking and u.s. Advocacy focus on four central issues that we believe are key to securing human rights and ending poverty: advancing the health and rights of women, girls and lgbtqi+ people; promoting civil and political rights; defending land, water and climate justice; and aiding communities in the aftermath of disasters. With jewish values and a global reach, AJWS is making a difference in millions of lives and bringing a more just and equitable world closer for ALL.
