One in Five Israeli Women Is Battered By A Relative Or A Husband
Al Ssennnara

Violence Begets Violence in Israel Households
Nazareth The latest information from Local Authorities related the phenomenon
of violence against women [in the Israeli society] reveals that one in five
women in the country are exposed to violence by a husband or a family member.
This information is different from the previous figures which stated that only
150,000 women are battered or exposed to beating in the country [Israel.]
Shmuel Avoav from the Education Committee of the [Israeli] Local Authorities
who revealed this information said that thousands of women and girls in the
country who are physically abused by husbands or relatives do not press
complaints because of fear from husbands /relatives or because of care for the
welfare of their children/ family, or for other reasons.
Avoav invoked battered women and woman victims of domestic violence to submit
complaints against their abusers because the complaint will be a deterrence in
many cases......
