In an unprecedented collaboration, the Hostages & Missing Persons Family Forum Headquarters and the Creative Community For Peace Organization (CCFP) from Los Angeles have united to create a powerful and moving video.
This initiative aims to bring global attention to the harrowing events that transpired during the Hamas terrorist attack in Israel on October 7th, particularly focusing on the suffering of women and girls.
Based on the testimonies of survivors and eyewitnesses, as well as investigations conducted by The New York Times and The Telegraph, the video presents five crucial facts about the brutalities inflicted upon women and girls during this attack. These include acts of rape, mutilation, and murder, painting a harrowing picture of the violence these victims faced.
The video, featuring Mayim Bialik, Sheryl Sandberg, Ginnifer Goodwin, Kathy Ireland, and Patricia Heaton, is not just a recount of the atrocities but a call to action. It serves as a stark reminder that silence and denial only serve to further violate the victims. It is a plea to the world to acknowledge these heinous crimes and to stand in solidarity with the survivors and those still held captive.
"We call upon the global community to not just watch but to act. We urge everyone to speak out for the women held hostage, still enduring atrocities at the hands of their captors, and demand their release. We must bring them home," the women said.
