The policy of ‘Arming Israel,’ as it is currently being conducted, will deepen the vulnerability of women in general and women who are caught in the cycle of domestic violence in particular

One year after the outbreak of the Corona pandemic in Israel, it is abundantly clear that the crisis has been a gendered one, impacting women and men differently

A presentation by Dr. Yael Hasson of the Adva Center and Hadass Ben Eliyahu of the ‘Yoda’at’ Center and the ‘Shavot’ Project at the Van Leer Institute reviews the impact of the corona epidemic on women in Israel vis-à-vis unpaid work, employment, social security, violence against women and representation in policy-making forums
