Protests in Israel: Handmaids, Judiciary Reforms, and Civil Unrest

Women in crimson robes and white caps, dressed as characters from "The Handmaid's Tale," have become a fixture at anti-government protests in Israel. They are protesting against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to overhaul the judiciary, which they fear will lead to a dark future where women's rights are stripped away. The government's move to weaken the Supreme Court and limit the independence of the judiciary has sparked widespread opposition and sent tens of thousands of people into the streets in protest each week. The women in red are drawing attention to the threat to women under the patriarchy and the rise of Israel's conservative, religious government.
