Hundreds rally against domestic violence in Tel Aviv

Hundreds of people have gathered at a Tel Aviv seaside park for a rally to end violence against women.

The protest begins with the reading of the names of 12 women who were killed by their partners since the start of the year, including a rash of murders last month.

“Enough of this dialogue of problems and victims, of a Band-Aid on the mouth and the woman cowering in the corner. This is the time to speak about solutions. She is strong, and he is the despicable weakling who cannot control himself,” says Lili Ben-Ami, whose sister Michal Sela was killed, allegedly by her husband.
