Sexual Violence is a social problem that we need to address everyday. 

Until the age of 12, boys and girls are abused in a ratio of 1:6.

 

After the age of 12, girls and women are abused in a ratio of 1:3; boys and men are abused in a ration of 1:7.

​

In 87% of abuse cases the abuser is known to the survivor.

​

Approx. 65% of abuse cases took place when the victims were minors.

​

According to the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor, in 2012, 40% of women have reported incidents of sexual harassment at the workplace.

​

The JRCC operates mostly on women staff members, board members and volunteers; In the Education Department we also have male volunteers. We believe in promoting women and providing a work environment of acceptance, equality and opportunity. Women make up the majority of our staff and volunteers due to the support services fraction of our work dedicated to support and aid women in times of need.
