via Zoom

Posted

Please join us as we learn and explore more about the sexual brutality that happened on October 7 in Israel. Hear from two keynote speakers, Nitsana Darshan-Leitner from Shurat HaDin Israel Law Center and Susan Seely from NA'AMAT USA (NA'AMAT is the largest women's movement in Israel). We will also have the opportunity to hear from several local organizations that work directly with or support women, including those that work in the domestic violence/sexual assault field here in Rhode Island.

This event is open to all and free to attend. Sign up below to receive the Zoom link.

Co-sponsors Rhode Island Coalition for Israel and Hadassah RI Chapter, together with numerous participating organizations (see below), understand the need to raise awareness on the sexual violence that was perpetrated by Hamas against women in Israel on October 7th, 2023. The use of rape and sexual violence is a war crime recognized as a direct violation of the international rules of war (not to mention it is unacceptable in any situation).

Participating Organizations:  Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island, Day One, Women's Fund of Rhode Island, Sandra Bornstein Holocaust Education Center, Independent Women's Network RI Chapter, Christians and Jews United for Israel, Israeli-American Civic Action Network, Core Connects RI, Shurat HaDin Israel Law Center, and NA'AMAT USA
