The presence of Israeli women on the frontline, in Israel advocacy, in education, and in civil society has come to the spotlight in recent months. To recognize this, Israel Hayom is thrilled to dedicate a special evening on the occasion of International Women's Day that will be dedicated to trailblazing women who have fought for others, who have stuck to their guns, who have contributed, and who have made a real difference in Israel this year.

A story that needs a woman's voice
The commendations will be awarded by prominent and senior women in the Israeli economy and society. The award for economy and innovation will be awarded by Ms. Yafit Atias, who is vice president of marketing at the Rami Levy Hashikma Marketing supermarket chain. "In these days, when we need hope, I look at the situation room desk on the front line and at the Shabbat table on the home front, and see a woman standing next to both," she told Israel Hayom, "The State of Israel in 2024 tells a different story. You can't write it without the female voice, and you can't look ahead without listening to it seriously. We have proved in every arena that where there is a woman, there is revival, contribution, and life."
The award for contribution to defense and security will be awarded by Ms. Maayan, robotic project manager at Israel Aerospace Industries. The Israel advocacy and international activity award will be awarded by Ms. Marina Rozenberg Koritny, head of the Aliyah Promotion Department at the World Zionist Organization.
