The Court of Appeals ruled today (Wednesday) that Chile Ezra, which was brought to Israel by women traffickers, would receive permanent status in Israel and criticized the Interior Ministry, which gave it permission for only one year.
"It is clear to me that granting a permanent residence permit in Israel is not a panacea that can heal the appellant's wounds, but I believe that permanent residency can give the appellant the sense of stability she lacked during her life, given everything she went through," Judge Mart Dorfman wrote in the decision.
Ezra was brought to Israel by women traffickers from Hungary 22 years ago and forced to work in prostitution.
She married an Israeli in Israel and began the process of obtaining status, but about six years ago he died.
Following this, her application for status was denied and she was required to leave the country, but decided to apply for status in Israel for humanitarian reasons.
"An amazing sense of success and power."

The judge noted that the professional opinions presented to the inter-ministerial committee that discussed Ezra's case suggested that permanent status is necessary for the purpose of further rehabilitation and prevention of regression, while the Population and Immigration Authority claimed that they do not establish permanent status.
Dorfman also referred to Ezra's contribution to society, noting that she was "one of those few women who, despite all the terrible upheavals in her life, found mental strength to recover but to contribute from her attempt to rehabilitate other women and take them out of prostitution and drugs."

"I'm not digesting yet, it's going to take time, but it's an amazing sense of success and strength, especially mental strength, but not only," she described helping and expressing regret that the process had been so lengthy.
"My struggle has been going on for more than two decades and how much power can be mobilized, but I believed so much and also had no other alternative, there was no choice."
Ezra described that "I am moved by the words the judge said. Unlike the Ministry of the Interior and the committee, he saw the things I went through. To other women. "
"The story of Chile is our story"
Advocate Ayelet Dayan, managing partner at the headquarters for the fight against trafficking in women and prostitution, said that “Chile’s story is our story, what kind of company we choose to be.
Thanks to the Dayan's just decision to give Chile permanent status in Israel, we have taken another step towards becoming a moral and just state.
"A country that recognizes the terrible suffering that Chile has gone through in the country and cherishes the power and mental strength that Chile had to rehabilitate and even make a tremendous contribution to populations in prostitution and victims of trafficking and the correction of Israeli society."
