Their opinion is very important in traditional Judaism; women and men are equal. Women's obligations and responsabilities are different for men's, but not less important.
According to Isaraeli people women are endowed with a greater degree of "BINAH" (intuition, understanding and intelligent). Althought there are many fields in which women are absent. One of them is politics.
In Israel women's representation in politics is lower than their overall proportion in the population. Politics is perceived as a male domain while the domestics sphere is perceived as the natural province of women.
Other field is education. Women in Isarel are discouraged from pursuing higher education , but this seems not to be effective because women give more priority to their duties as wives and mothers.
According to the political position of this country, I think that it's better that women stay in home, taking care of their children and trying to make their childhood better than outside.
ReplyDeleteIs heartbreaking to read how little girls are discriminated just for the only reason of being women and also how they have to tolerate discrimination and violence.
ReplyDeleteIncredible that these things still happen today, but sadly the laws in that kind of countries have been the same for years…
