"I want to talk about prevention, which, in my opinion, is a voice that is not heard enough," the prime minister's wife said.

"The children watch us, the parents - in the relationship between us, in how we talk to each other, in how we talk to the neighbor, to their teacher, to the cashier at the supermarket, how we talk to them. There they learn how people are supposed to treat each other. They implemented exactly what they saw. "



We all want to be good parents, but many of us often feel helpless and confused, simply because the ways of education that were once customary and adapted to other years are no longer appropriate for today, everything has changed, "Bennett continued. More valid.

So when used today, they have devastating results.

We, as parents, need to be given tools to learn how to bring about respectful cooperation, without threats and punishments.

"How to help our child deal with anger and frustration and grow mental resilience within him, so that even if he is frustrated with his teacher or partner - he will know how to deal with the frustration within him optimally."

The Foreign Minister's wife, Lehi Lapid, addressed the injured women and said: "" We are here today to shout your muted shout. To tell you that you are not guilty and have nothing to be ashamed of. It's not you - it's him. And we're here today to tell you we want to help. We are your neighbor, your girlfriend. We are the ones who work with you. We're your sister. We are your mother or your daughter, and we just want to help you. "



Later she also turned to men and asked:" Talk to your sons, talk to your friends, to your brother. Tell them that no woman is property and no woman is always and for your worlds. "



MK Meirav Ben-Ari said that “International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women is an opportunity for us to stop and think about how we prevent the next case of violence.

Every day women suffer from violence, some of these cases end in loss of life and some in severe mental injury.

No woman should live in fear.

The goal of the all-important event we held today is to raise awareness of the issue and ensure that the issue is on the agenda every day.

We will continue to fight for those women. "
