The October 7 attack specifically targeted women, many of whom were victims of violent sexual assaults.
“Wonder Woman” actress Gal Gadot took notice of the situation in December 2023, posting on Instagram: “We say we stand against rape and violence against women. We will not allow women to be victimized and silenced. We say we believe women. Let’s stand with women and speak up for women.”
“On October 7th, the world witnessed Hamas execute its violent plan in real time. Within hours of the October 7th attack, the first horrifying video was released showing Shani Luke being taken naked and desecrated by his proud attackers,” Gadot wrote on the social media platform, referring to Shani Luke, a German-Israeli tattoo artist who was kidnapped by Hamas.
Gadot continued, “Yet two months later, women are still being held hostage by rapists, and the world has failed to recognize this as the urgent emergency that demands a decisive response.”
“Now is the time to act as women and as allies of women. I ask all those who have worked for women’s rights around the world, from the UN to human rights organizations, to join me in calling for Hamas to immediately release all female hostages – not after the next round of international mediation, not after another day. Women cannot endure this horror one more time.”
