Violence Against Women
Is Protested at Israel Rally
By HADASSAH
BAT HAIM
World Zionist Press Service
JERUSALEM — The
scene in Haifa on the Satur-
day that ended Simhat
Torah this year was
enlivened by a procession of
300 women marching with
banners, shouting slogans
and singing. They were
demonstrating to draw at-
tention to the amount of vio-
lence directed against
women.
The banners read: "As-
sault is a Crime," "Stop
Rape" and "My Body Be-
longs to Me." Their appear-
ance brought all the strol-
lers to the edges of the
sidewalks. In years gone by
there would probably have
been heckling, catcalls,
jeering suggestiong about
their "real needs" (and of-
fers to fulfil them) and
probably hostile gibes about
women knowing their place.
But on this occasion the
parade served to remind the
spectators of the unpleasant
facts and most of the opin-
ions expressed from the
sidewalks were sympathe-
tic.
Women's organizations
allege that more than
10,000 cases of rape occur
each year in Israel. Official
figures are lower, but it is
maintained that this is be-
cause many incidents go
unreported.
The number of bat-
tered women is estimated
at 100,000 and this too is
probably less than the
actual figure. The in-
crease in the ill-treatment
of infants and children
has been so marked that
several hospitals now
have department specifi-
cally to deal with this
problem.
The march concluded the
Fifth Annual Congress of
Israeli Feminists. The main
focus, in 1 1 /2 days of lectures,
seminars and workshops,
was violence, in all its as-
pects, against women.
Papers were read on the
roles assigned to women in
world literature, nearly all
of which perpetuate the
myths of their existence sol-
ely in relation to their male
companions. From kinder-
garden on there is repeti-
tion of the theme of
stereotypes rather than on
complete human beings.
Some of the later dis-
cussions centered round the
case recently given some
prominence in the news-
papers, of a child taken by a
rabbinical court from her
mother's care and put into
the custody of a tyrannical,
neglectful father because of
(unsupported) allegations
that the mother played the
radio on Shabat.
Another burning topic
still unresolved is that of
discriminatory salaries.
The principle of equal pay
for equal work is theoreti-
cally accepted by the His-
tadrut (Trades Union Coun-
cil), but in practice there are
enough loopholes in the law
and deviations from it to
leave most women with 30
percent less take-home pay
than men doing similar
jobs.

Lotan will grow dates and
such winter crops as onions,
tomatoes and garlic. It also
expects to raise cactus
plants for export to Europe
and, eventually to establish
a factory to produce reading
aids for physically handi-
capped persons.
Members of the new
kibutz will confront a
problem indigenous to
Israeli society when they
decide to marry. They in-
sist that their marriages
be performed by a Re-
form rabbi. The state
recognizes only the Or-
thodox religious estab-
lishment.
A test will come later this
month when 24-year-old
Michael Rosenberg, of Los
Angeles, plans to marry his
Sabra fiance in a Reform
service. A problem may
arise when he seeks to have
his marriage registered by
the Interior Ministry.
