Niso Shaham tells MKs forced gender segregation 'going on under our noses for years'; says haredi man called female soldier 'slut' because she refused to sit in back of bus 
 

Prisilna spolna "segregacija"se provodi već godinama rekao je Haredi muškarac koji je nazvao ženu, članicu izraelske vojske "Slut" zato što nije htjela sjesti otraga u autobusu.  

Speaking at a meeting of the Knesset's Economic Affairs Committee on Wednesday morning, Shaham said, "On my way over here I was informed of an incident in which a haredi man called a female soldier 'slut' because she refused to sit at the back of an Egged bus. We arrested him....



"Enforcement alone will not provide the solution. We've also been taking down signs (calling for gender segregation), but there are many more things that need to be done. This has been going on right under our noses for many years," the police commander told the MKs.
