Dr. Cochav Elkayam-Levy established the “Civil Commission on October 7th Crimes by Hamas against Women and Children”, an independent, non-governmental collaboration of international human rights experts and women’s rights organizations created to advocate for and support the investigation of war crimes committed by Hamas against women and children during the massacre of October 7th and the continuous war crimes towards abducted women and children. The Civil Commission obtained and distributed credible information and lent its expertise to relevant bodies in Israel and internationally.

Dr. Elkayam-Levy is the Sophie Davis Fellow on Gender, Conflict Resolution, and Peace at the Hebrew University Leonard Davis Institute for International Relations. She teaches human rights law, international law, climate justice, and feminist theories at Hebrew University and at Reichman University. She is also the founding head of the Dvora Institute for Gender and Sustainability Studies, a Senior Fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem, a Doctor of Juridical Science and former Human Rights Scholar of the University of Pennsylvania Law School, a former Perry World House Fellow, a Salzburg Global Fellow for Outstanding Scholars in International Law, Washington D.C., and a member of the Israeli President’s new Climate Forum.
