It is Unconscionable that Members of Congress
and Progressive Women's Groups Have Refused to Unequivocally Condemn Hamas
for Raping and Sexually Assaulting Women

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5, 2023 /Christian
Newswire/ -- Groups like Planned Parenthood, Women's March, Democrat Women's
Caucus, Emily's List and National Organization for Women have tragically
remained silent.
Today Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said; "I heard, and you also heard,
about sexual abuse and incidents of brutal rape like nothing else." He then
expressed outrage at feminist and human rights groups who have largely stayed
silent on the sexual atrocities Hamas perpetrated. Netanyahu went on to say,
"Where the hell are you?"
Stanton Public Policy, completely agrees with Prime Minister Netanyahu, and is
deeply troubled that human rights and progressive women's groups have refused to
condemn these horrific acts of violence against women.
Leaders from Stanton Public Policy Center have held public demonstrations in
Washington, D.C. condemning Hamas for raping, brutalizing and sexually
assaulting women.

Based in Washington, D.C., Stanton Public Policy Center is a women's advocacy
and educational group that works on issues of human rights and justice which
empower and inspire women. It is affiliated with Stanton Healthcare which has
life-affirming women's health clinics in America and internationally.
Brandi Swindell, Founder and CEO of Stanton Public Policy Center, states:
"The brutal acts of sexual violence and rape committed by
Hamas against women are horrifying and unconscionable, and must
unequivocally be condemned. The world cannot remain silent while women are
being publicly attacked and violated.
"It is also unconscionable for progressive women's groups and human rights
activists to remain silent and indifferent in the face of this kind of
sexual violence. Stanton Public Policy Center will always stand and support
women without any hesitation and listen to their voices. Confronting issues
of abuse and violence against women, must always transcend political
ideology and partisanship."
Rev. Patrick Mahoney, Chief Strategy Officer for Stanton
Public Policy, adds:
"Holocaust Survivor and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Elie
Wiesel, said; 'We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor,
never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.'
"When it comes to rape and sexual violence against women by Hamas, the world
cannot be neutral or silent. We must always take sides against this kind of
brutality against women.
"This issue has nothing do with politics or partisanship. Rather, it is an
issue of human rights and ensuring women must never be subjected to this
kind of violence."
