‘A call to action’: Sheryl Sandberg, Mayim Bialik, Ginnifer Goodwin in video on Oct. 7 sexual violence

The Hostages and Missing Persons Families Forum Headquarters representing the families of those abducted to Gaza, releases a video featuring Mayim Bialik, Sheryl Sandberg and Ginnifer Goodwin on the atrocities carried out against women by terrorists during the Hamas-led onslaught on October 7.

The video features the women describing testimony reported by The New York Times and The Telegraph of the widespread sexual violence against women and children during the devastating assault.

The video can be watched here.

“The video, featuring Mayim Bialik, Sheryl Sandberg, Ginnifer Goodwin, Kathy Ireland, and Patricia Heaton, is not just a recount of the atrocities but a call to action,” the organization says in a statement. “It serves as a stark reminder that silence and denial only serve to further violate the victims. It is a plea to the world to acknowledge these heinous crimes and to stand in solidarity with the survivors and those still held captive.”

“We call upon the global community to not just watch but to act. We urge everyone to speak out for the women held hostage, still enduring atrocities at the hands of their captors, and demand their release. We must bring them home,” the forum says.

The video is released as the hostages’ families and their supporters ready to mark 100 days since their loved ones were kidnapped to Gaza, where they are still held captive.

Some 3,000 Hamas terrorists stormed into southern Israel on October 7, killing some 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and taking another 240 hostages amid acts of unimaginable brutality.
