Women’s Day
Recently Yael Cohen Faran came in to office as a Knesset Member. She is
the thirty second woman who serves in this Knesset, an all-time record.
Women’s organizations tell us that it’s still early to be happy. They say
that there aren’t enough women in key roles and that there are still a lot of
things to work on like fighting [a war on] violence against women and
women’s wages that are much lower than men’s. Now there are a lot of
mothers in the Knesset and they want to be considered. They’re trying to
change the hours when there are sessions at the Knesset. Instead of three
long days they want to work (for) five days, but shorter. It’s still unclear
whether they’ll succeed. Women have come a long way over the years, but
is it okay to settle for this?
