Israel Facts

Black coffins decorated with red roses are seen during a mock funeral attended by dozens of Israeli women to raise awareness over the growing number of women being killed in incidents of domestic violence across Israel, on November 24, 2011 in Tel Aviv. The march was organized by women’s rights activists to raise awareness about domestic violence, which so far this year has claimed 24 women’s lives in Israel and to mark the UN’s International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
