An umbrella organization, the Association for Rape Crisis Centers in Israel (ARCCI ) strives to create systemic, social change for survivors of sexual violence. In the aftermath of Hamas’ brutal attack on October 7, ARCCI trained social workers and clinicians on the specific needs of those who experience wartime sexual abuse and related traumas. It also launched a national media campaign to raise awareness of the centers’ services and encourage survivors, including those who have been re-traumatized by recent events, to seek help. ARCCI Executive Director Orit Sulitzeanu has been a leading voice calling on international women’s organizations to condemn and investigate Hamas’ gender-based war crimes.
