October 7 Trauma Prompts Israeli Men to Break Silence on Sexual Abuse
תורגם ותומצת מתוך Ynetnews על ידי baba
Following the October 7 Hamas attacks, Israeli men are increasingly breaking decades of silence about sexual abuse, leading to a dramatic rise in calls to a national support hotline. The widespread discussion of sexual violence during the attacks, including testimonies from former hostages, has emboldened survivors to seek help. Despite growing awareness, deep-seated prejudices persist, and the demand for specialized treatment services for male survivors far exceeds the available resources, creating significant challenges for those seeking support.
