Women in Red



I took this photo yesterday, International Womens' Day, from a bridge overlooking main highways.
Amongst all the demonstrations happening in Israel, is Women in Red - The government should not cross a red line. There are hardly any women in the Knesset now.  Women are being suppressed - separate buses, abusers are not found guilty, women are hardly represented in companies, women cannot come to the Western Wall in Jerusalem.  According to the religious, a woman's place is in the home, raising children, and, by the way, working - while the men spend their time studying the torah and praying.  Of course heads and arms and legs are covered - if things continue like this, we are not far from being ruled as the Taliban rules.  Well, since the demonstrations have begun, women have and are showing that this will NOT happen.
The red line will NOT be crossed.
