Family Issues through the Lens of Law - a Conversation with Daphna Hacker

Daphna Hacker, Professor at the Tel Aviv University Law Faculty
and the Head of the Women and Gender Studies Program at the
Faculty of Humanities, explains the growing importance of
improved legislation concerning transnational families. Daphna
Hacker also demands changes in inheritance laws that would enable
the elderly to secure the necessary care they need.


Another topic of our conversation is the recent regression in
women's status in Israel, focusing on two main issues: the
weakening of motherhood as a rewarding status, and women's
exclusion from the public sphere.
