The New Family Organization was founded in 1998 in Tel Aviv, Israel, by advocate Irit Rosenblum and a group of attorneys to advocate equal family rights for all and to promote the rights of families who don’t meet the de facto definition of family in Israel: a man and a woman married according to religious law. New Family Organization is Israel’s leading family rights advocates and triggered precedents for legal equality for women, common-law, same-sex and interfaith families.
Rights promoted by New Family Organization include the right to live in a recognized partnership (marriage or common-law), to have children (through natural conception, adoption or via reproductive technologies), to will and inherit assets, and to dissolve a partnership, without discrimination based on faith, nationality, sexual orientation, or status.
