'You Are Not Alone', Israelis Protest Violence Against Women

Published December 8th, 2018 - 09:25 GMT

Hundreds of demonstrators decried violence against women and sexism at a Tel Aviv rally on Sunday evening, in an event marking the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

The demonstrators denounced misogyny and called for government action to halt the murder and abuse of women in Israel.

The protesters — mostly young women and men, many representing youth groups — carried signs that read, “I believe you,” and “You are not alone,” and hoisted placards that featured telephone numbers for crisis call centers. The event was titled, “Putting an end to this.”
