The Clinic for Legal Feminism helps victims of sexual assault know their rights
Congratulations to the Clinic for Legal Feminism for drafting the digitized resource center for victims of sexual assault. The resource details what rights they are eligible for as well as how to submit a claim online to the National Insurance Institute of Israel (Bituah Leumi) for a disability allowance. Law students associated with the Clinic participated in drafting the materials, and worked closely with the spokeswoman of Bituah Leumi over a two-year period. According to Advocate Vardit Avidan who heads the Clinic, COVID-19 has only exacerbated domestic violence in Israeli society. “The country must do its part in recognizing that violence against women is a systemic problem which calls for a complete overhaul of how domestic violence and its survivors are treated.”READ MORE in The Times of Israel
