Fără precedent: femeile și bărbații nu vor mai avea voie să circule pe aceleași străzi într-un oraș din Israel

An Israeli city plans to implement gender-segregated streets in response to demands from the ultra-Orthodox community. Bnei Brak will initially focus on two streets near event venues, with physical barriers to separate men and women. Local authorities believe residents will comply with the new rules based on religious guidance. However, the initiative has faced criticism from local councilors and gender equality activists, who argue it distracts from essential municipal services and promotes exclusion of women from public spaces. Similar segregation practices have been seen in ultra-Orthodox communities in Israel before.
