The original knowledge
(Live here) - under the title 'Violence - not on our court' A special beach volleyball tournament will be held tomorrow (Friday 5/5/23) at Meridian Beach in Haifa, in cooperation with Maccabi Israel, Witzo and the "Beach and Enjoy Volleyball" team.
11 women were murdered in 2023
"11 women were murdered in 2023 and unfortunately there is almost no woman who does not know another woman who has experienced violence. This is a situation we cannot accept and should always be at the forefront of the public stage, until the state and society knows how to eradicate the phenomenon. Only in the last few weeks we lost Daria Leitel Z in the Haifa and Kiryat region." L and the late Adisi Albana, who were murdered by their spouses," said the tournament organizers.
The struggle is everyone's, women and men
The organizers also stated: "Our goal is to remind everyone that there are still many women who experience domestic violence, and we do not forget them, and we must always remember those whose lives were taken in cold blood and prematurely. The tournament will be held in a mixed format, women and men together, because we believe that this fight belongs to all of us." .
Gender equality through sports
Dr. Daniela Mazor was the best friend of the late Daria (Dasha) Leitel, who was murdered on 17/3/23 by her daughters' father. Dr. Mazor was also one of the first to arrive at Leitel's house from the moment the disaster became known.
Daniela plays in the volleyball team of She Sports (Shesport) A social organization that works to promote gender equality through sports, from the concept that the practice of sports has the purpose of reducing gaps and developing leading female leadership.
A kind of closing the circle
Mazor said in a conversation today: "The organization emphasizes female visibility in the public space with the aim of being a source of inspiration and pride for other women and serving as a safe space for every girl, girl and woman. The purpose of the tournament and its exposure to the media and the general public is to convey a message that we are here together and we will not rest until we change the face of this reality."
For Dr. Mazur, this match has a kind of closing of a circle, because on that horrific and painful day when her friend Dasha's life was brutally cut short, Mazur arrived at the scene of the event wearing the volleyball team's shirt, as she was on her way to the game. "I am proud and excited for the tournament tomorrow. We invite everyone and everyone to come, take part and be partners, in order to strengthen the message of the tournament and the values it represents for all of us", concludes Mazur.

They deserve the respect they deserve, every day it breaks my heart to hear about women being murdered by their partners, or experiencing violence by asking them to call themselves men, but unfortunately they are not called men, they are rags, because who lays a hand on a woman or a murderer A woman is called trash,
In my many iniquities, when I sat in prisons, I sat with prisoners who were violent or murdered their wives, who received humiliating treatment. from other prisoners, and when I would look at them in poverty, my nerves would rise and I would remember as a child how my father used to beat me and my brother, and my mother to bless her memory, vigorous beatings, I had a difficult childhood, but today I am on the king's road, rehabilitated, clean of drugs , and walking on the straight path, I do this not only for myself, I also do this for all the women and children who have suffered violence within the family, because in my place I never forget where I came from, I have come a long and hard way, severe violence on the part of my father, and today Grateful to the Creator of the world. And to friends, and to every friend and friend, to everyone who helped me and still helps me, and supports me, but the wound is still not healing. I salute, and I am grateful to those who fought, to women in need. To women and children who have experienced severe violence and to all the women who are in shelters, and finally I say only to those women who experience violence by their partner, do not be ashamed to ask for help. Love you, and with you in your struggle♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
