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.
