Why did it take nearly two months for feminists and women's rights groups to speak out on behalf of the Israeli women & girls raped and brutalized by Hamas?
Thank you for this. I too find it heartbreaking and astonishing that the horrific sexual violence perpetrated against Israeli women by Hamas has been ignored by do many who profess to care about women’s rights.
As someone who grew up reading Ms. Magazine, a publication which steered my career to become a feminist writer, as well as my current position running a global women's news organization, I am absolutely appalled! Thank you Letty, Gloria and all others who possess the courage to stand firm in your beliefs, and to call out those who do not!
I believe part of the problem is that people have a difficult time holding two truths at the same time. Israeli forces are terrorizing and killing innocent people, including women, children, and babies. AND, Hamas is brutalizing and killing women, children, and babies. Both are wrong.
Palestinians and Israelites are peoples with a wide spectrum of political belief. From my perch, it seems everyone want peace at the price of war; Everyone is righteous and no one is right.

Letty, I thought you would be interested in Women Deliver's latest essay on Medium, which lists a number of countries where women have recently been violated, raped, killed, etc., but NO mention of Israeli women. Not surprised! https://medium.com/@MalihaKhanWD/the-ever-evolving-future-for-women-deliver-2fc2536e1ec4
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I’ve posted this on the FB pages of every women’s march groups and on my Facebook and Instagram accounts.

Hard to believe you have turned away from the Genocide in Gaza
