Knesset: New bill provides immediate relief for battered women
The Knesset plenum authorized, after second and third reading, MK Aliza Lavi's (Yesh Atid) bill which set conditions for the grant given women after they leave a battered women's shelter. The bill determines that the grant will be given to the women on the day they are released, instead of 60 days later.
MK Lavi explained: "When the grant is received only after two months, they don't have the ability to pay for themselves on the evening of their release from the shelter." (Omri Efraim)
