Horut=Shava, (Hebrew for Equal Parenting) is an non-for-profit Israeli organization for equality in parental duties and responsibilities.

We at Horut=Shava believe that only through the caring and cooperation of both parents can children survive the difficulties that arise in divorce situations, and live their lives in the best possible way after the divorce.
