The Kidnap and Disappearance of the Children of Yemen, Balkans and the East
We, the women of Isha L'Isha-Haifa Feminist Center have been following the developments and the new findings which were found regarding the kidnap and disappearance of the children of Yemen, Balkans and the East, between the years 1948-1954 and wish to speak of this matter.
As women and social activists, first and foremost we share the pain and the frustration that those families must feel, that even after so many years they had not received the full information of their loved ones' faith, and not even a recognition in the crimes that been committed against them.
Recognizing the struggle of these families to locate their loved ones is a social-feminist struggle that cannot be ignored. Ignoring it, or displaying a complete lack or recognition of the matter creates a direct link between the wrongdoing that was committed in the past to the preservation of oppressive modern mechanisms. We believe that by recognizing what happened, alongside policy changing actions, will guarantee that similar actions like these will not happen again. As a part of this discussion, we witness other acts, such as giving Depo-Provera to Ethiopian women, as a continuation of the same discriminative oppressive mechanism against women, who receive different treatment from the social and medical establishments because of color and origin.
