Ten women living in constant fear, suffering abuse and being held in violation of international law. Neither the UN, the Red Cross nor any of the many human rights and women’s rights organizations have managed to visit them, check their health or simply provide us with basic information. None of them succeeded, and most of them didn’t even try. My little girl, just five feet tall, has been held hostage by Hamas for a year. I won’t let her forget; I will not rest until she returns to my arms.”
