Women’s rights group demands immediate action after woman killed in Acre
The Israel Women’s Network rights group demands immediate action over what is apparently the 25th murder this year of women by family members or acquaintances, after Iman Ahmed Awad was stabbed to death in her home in Acre.
Criticizing the government for failing to implement steps or allocate funds to fight the phenomenon, the group says “our blood isn’t cheap and the safety of 51 percent of the population can’t continue to be a low priority.
“We demand action — now!”
