Court forbids gender segregation in concert planned by Afula municipality
The Nazareth District Court accepts a petition by the Israel Women’s Network against the municipality of the northern city of Afula over a musical performance planned for next week at a public park with gender segregation in the audience.
The ruling forbids organizers from seating men and women separately during the performance, saying it harms the principle of equality.
The women’s rights group that filed the petition praises the decision, saying that “the public space is open to all.”
