Women’s issues
Ale-Yarok will strive to improve legislation and enforcement in the following: Equal pay for equal work; Construction and funding of affordable day care centers; long school day throughout the state Ed. System; Tax deduction for childcare expenses (nannies); Inclusion of gynecological medications in the state subsidized medical package; Research grants for female specific health problems; Social benefits for housewives.
Ale-Yarok views rape as a crime on par with murder and terrorism in its devastating effect on the victim and on society as a whole. Therefore, Ale-Yarok will work on all levels to implement stricter penalties for rape - of both men male and female victims - and to improve victim treatment in order to minimize the added trauma and reticence of filing a complaint as much as possible.
