On this week’s episode of She Thinks, Andi Bottner joins to help us examine the women’s groups who have remained silent on the sexual violence committed against girls and women on October 7th. We delve into why the #MeToo movement hasn’t shown up for and defended Israeli women, and we discuss why whitewashing the gravity of these crimes degrades and dehumanizes women and puts them in danger all across the globe.    Political consultant Andi G.
