CRC: Advocacy in Action

CRC: Advocacy in Action: "
You’ve probably heard a lot recently about women on Israeli buses. You may have heard women have to sit in the back of the bus. They don’t. You may have heard that’s not actually the law. It’s not. You may have heard that there’s a lot of controversy about it. There is.
 
But when speaking of women in Israel, you probably haven’t heard that five of the recent graduates from the IDF’s prestigious flight course were women. That’s five out of 17 or 30 percent. Contrast that with the fact that in all roles within the United States Air Force, women make up just 16 percent. And that’s not counting only the prestigious pilot corps where the percentage is probably even lower."
