Knesset committee backs two private bills tied to violence against women

The Knesset’s Ministerial Committee for Legislation approves two private bills tied to violence against women.

One bill is intended to limit the firing of women who are staying in shelters. The other rejects granting child custody to a parent convicted of the murder of the child’s second parent.

The bills are expected to receive the full support of the coalition.

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
