Women's caucus
- Notes
-
A Knesset Lobby is a group of Knesset Members who want to enlist support for or against a policy or group amongst their colleagues or other government officials.
A Lobby operates only during the term of the Knesset. It is not an official Knesset body, thus the Knesset is not involved in the action plans or rules of the Members' Lobbies and does not provide any funding.

Notes: A "Caucus for the Prevention of Violence Against Women" was first formed in the 20th Knesset (2015-2019), and re-established again in the 23rd (2020) and 24th Knesset (2021). Currently, a caucus has been formed on "Stopping Domestic Violence" without the specific mention of women in the name.
