Kayan's 2016 personal status rights campaign was aimed at raising awareness about issues related to personal status (e.g. marriage, divorce, child custody etc.). The campaign targeted the Palestinian society in Israel and featured activiites in the field (such as workshops and lectures) as well as intensive online and media work. Key subjects highlighted in the campaign included domestic violence, and gender-discrimination  within the legal system (e.g. unjust divorce and child custody laws).  The campaign aimed to open honest discussions about these taboo subjects, and to bring key issues related to personal status to the social agenda. 

This 2015 campaign was to put key issues related to women’s rights in the Ecclesiastical courts on the public agenda. In particular Kayan focused on (1) a lack of gender-sensitivity in the courtroom (2) a lack of clear and published laws and procedures, and (3) exorbitantly high court fees that are unaffordable for women. The campaign was successful in raising-awareness and led to ongoing cooperation with court officials to address these issues.
