Israeli Women, unfairly treated when riding the bus.

In Israel women are currently fighting for their rights to ride public transportation along side their fellow men, and also they are demanding equal treatment while using these public transportation. The idea of women's rights or the rights of a women in Israel are extremely primitive, where the majority of the population still believe that a woman's place is at home. Even more so the idea of "modesty" is taken to the extreme. Both women and men are supposed to be covered from head to toe, and the idea of men being the head of the household is taken to drastic measures. Another very interesting fact was that men and women are not supposed to gather together in public spaces because it would promote an "immodest" appearance. For a long time if a woman wanted to achieve a higher standing or wanted more power they would be labeled "immodest" and they were treated like a social outcast. Although recently women's rights have gotten better, on various occasions they find themselves still being the subject of harassment. Co-ed bus riding recently has become a very "hot-bed" topic amongst the Israeli citizens. When riding the bus women are forced to sit in the back , and the men are given the preferred seats in the front. Recently, there have been several protests to end this unjust system. Israeli women feel that the bus system is unfair and believe that anyone should be able to sit wherever they want. In the article, "Ultra-Orthodox men rise up in Israel over Women's rights" by Noga Tarnopolsky, the author discusses the recent violent counter attacks by the men in the community against the women's protests for equality. Since these men are super conservative they strongly support the idea that men and women do not belong out together, let alone "intermixed". Since the start of these protest, the men have refused to help in anyway, and recently have taken it upon themselves to end the women's campaign all together, even if they need to use violence. The article reports several women who have experienced harassment from these counter attacks. The article later reports that during a huge mobbing of two television stations one police officer was severely injured when a rock was thrown to the head. Since violence has erupted , municipal authorities have signed - off on the installation of four hundred cameras to discourage the citizens from violence. However, because the Israeli Supreme-Court declared that segregation on public buses can not be forced how can this unjust treatment of women be ended?

Will the addition of these camera's help. What are other ideas that can be used to help these women?
