Status of Women Committee to hold session on domestic violence
The Knesset Committee on the Status of Women and Gender Equality will hold a special session on murder and violence towards women on Wednesday.
The debate was initiated by MK Pnina Tamano-Shata (Yesh Atid), who said that "20 women were brutally murdered this year. The numbers speak for themselves. Unfortunately, the government did not draw the conclusions and did not implement the full recommendations that were collected over the years to eradicate this phenomenon…the government is obligated to implement an emergency plan in order to remove the obstacles and assist women who urgently need our help."
