Moran Stella Yanai, an Israeli woman formerly held hostage in Gaza for 176 days, revealed in a recent interview the sexual assault she endured during her captivity, describing it as 'beyond the scope of the word.' Similarly, Maya Regev, another released hostage, testified in front of the Knesset's Committee on the Status of Women and Gender Equality, stating that every female captive in Gaza experiences sexual harassment in some form. These testimonies come amid reports that 14 young Israeli women are currently being held hostage in Gaza, with the Hamas group being accused of sexual abuse against these captives. The issue has sparked outrage and calls for action, with the 'Hamas Raped Me Too Movement' urging the government to do everything possible to secure the hostages' release. As Women's History Month concludes, the plight of these women remains a focal point of concern and advocacy, with 19 women and a total of 134 Israelis still held by Hamas.
