In recent years, the proud community has undergone a process of recognition and legitimacy in Israeli society, and that is a good thing.

As an integral part of this process and the METOO revolution, a safe space must be created in Israel where victims of sexual assault can complain, and know that their complaint will be examined in all seriousness, no matter who the attacker is and how high his status is.
