Number of reported sexual violence cases within IDF doubled in six years
The Knesset spokesperson says during a discussion at the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that there have been 993 reported cases of sexual misconduct within the Israel Defense Forces in 2018 — double the number from six years ago.
Sharon Nir, the IDF chief’s women’s affairs adviser, argues that the increase is evidence not of growing sexual violence rates, but primarily of an “increase in awareness and legitimacy to report every incident.”
