Israel Rape Crisis Center ‘heartbroken’ by Canada org denying sexual assault on Oct. 7

The Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel says that “our hearts were broken” when the director of the sexual assault center at Canada’s University of Alberta signed an open letter denying Hamas-led terrorists raped women during their devastating October 7 onslaught in southern Israel.

“It is incredible that an organization that is familiar with the mechanism of silencing [rape victims], chooses it and denies victims,” it tweets.

The association notes that the university dismissed Samantha Pearson, the head of its sexual assault center, for her actions.

“It is important, but it is not enough,” the association says. “Denial has to be fought.”
