Jackson Katz Quotes
Calling gender violence a women's issue is part of the problem. It gives a lot of men an excuse not to pay attention.
Katz, Jackson. "Violence against women—it's a men's issue." TED, Nov. 2012.
Many leaders of nations are in denial about this problem which exists almost everywhere. In Israel, the problem is compounded because the very orthodox Jews and Muslims both come from a tradition where women are allocated a place subservient to men in many ways and to some (like some Christians) there is a perceived duty to discipline wives and daughters. So reform involves religious tradition and theology.
