IPF Atid is the young professionals network of Israel Policy Forum, an organization dedicated to advancing support for a viable two-state solution that safeguards Israeli security. It is a community comprised of informed and empowered young professionals working to advance a more pragmatic, nuanced conversation addressing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Ms. Loevy is an attorney and policy advocate at “Itach-Maaki – Women Lawyers for Social Justice,” an NGO dedicated to promoting women’s rights in Israel since 2012. She began her career as an attorney at the Hotline, where she supervised the founding of the National Kindergarten Assistants’ Organization to enhance their working conditions. Since 2015, she has spearheaded the project to implement UN Security Council Resolution 1325, with the goal of involving more women from diverse population groups in key decision-making roles regarding peace and security issues, as well as incorporating a gender perspective into political discourse. Ms. Loevy holds a master’s degree in law (with honors) from the MUSA: Law and Other Languages for a Just Society in Israel program at the College of Management and the Van Leer Institute. She earned her bachelor’s degree in law from Tel Aviv University and another bachelor’s degree in history and philosophy from the same university. Previously, she worked as a journalist at the IDF radio station, Galei Tzahal, and other radio stations; she also worked at the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper and the main edition of Channel 10 TV news. Ms. Loevy has directed two documentaries: Woman from the Bubble, which focuses on sign language interpreter Lee Dan and the world of deaf individuals in Israel (Yes Docu – 2007); and World Class Kids, which follows a class of second-graders at a school in the heart of Tel Aviv, where a Filipino boy, a Chinese boy, and an Arab boy from Jaffa are grouped with Jewish children from various population groups (Yes Docu – 2010). The film was screened at numerous festivals in Israel and internationally, winning the Spirit of Freedom award at the 2010 Jerusalem Film Festival and first prize at the 2011 Korea International Festival of Documentary Films on Education.
