On #IWD2023, we celebrate women who defend other women, who have brought about change, who shape the world. Why, asks @YehudisFletcher, do we not shine a spotlight on the Charedi women forced to live their lives as permanent backseat drivers? https://www.jewishnews.co.uk/opinion-why-are-all-these-women-still-not-allowed-to-drive/

Long article in today's copy of @thetimes detailing the experience of chasidic boys and men. This is a human rights abuse and a safeguarding emergency - and not enough is being done about it.
