On October 7, Israeli actress Gal Gadot took to Instagram to address the disturbing silence that followed acts of rape and violence against women. With a heartfelt message, Gadot expressed her disappointment in the world’s failure to take a stand against these heinous crimes.
To her vast audience of 109 million followers, she wrote, “The world let women down on October 7. We claim to be against rape and violence towards women, yet we allow them to become victims and then mute their voices. We profess our belief in women, our support for them, and our willingness to speak up for their rights.”
Gadot highlighted the events that unfolded on October 7, where the world bore witness to the savage attacks by Hamas. In the hours following the assault, a chilling video emerged, showing Shani Louk being shamefully led away by her perpetrators. Despite this evidence, women continue to be held captive by these rapists, and the global community fails to acknowledge the gravity of the situation.
Gadot passionately emphasizes that this is an emergency demanding immediate attention. Women must not be left stranded, without a resolute response to this crisis. It is high time for the world to break its silence and take decisive action against gender-based violence.
Gal Gadot, the renowned Israeli actress known for her role in the blockbuster film series “Wonder Woman,” has passionately urged women worldwide to take action. In a powerful statement, she emphasized that the time has come for women, as well as their allies, to stand up and make a difference. Gadot expressed her concern for women who are enduring unimaginable horrors, emphasizing the urgent need for collective action.
