Ronni Aloni Sadovnik: Time to Investigate Emergency Welfare Institutions for Children in Israel

Are Emergency Facilities Being Used to Silence Child Victims of Sexual Abuse?

Attorney Ronni Aloni Sadovnik, a leading human rights advocate specializing in child protection and representation of sexual abuse victims, is calling for public awareness and accountability regarding the operation of emergency institutions for minors under the authority of Israel's Ministry of Welfare.

According to multiple testimonies and field reports, young girls who were allegedly sexually abused by family members and refuse to reconcile with their abusers are being institutionalized in closed facilities—sometimes for months on end.

Girls Who Refuse to “Forgive” Their Abuser—Are They Being Punished?

There are growing concerns that instead of receiving protection, some of these girls are being forcibly separated from protective parents (typically mothers) and sent to high-security welfare institutions. Inside, they may face pressure to participate in forced reconciliation sessions with the alleged abuser, often under the guise of "mediation" or "therapeutic processes."

Those who resist may be labeled as “non-cooperative” and transferred to emergency shelters with electronic locks, underground units, and no access to external support or advocacy.

Not Isolated Cases – A Pattern of Silencing?

Some girls as young as 8 or 9 years old have reportedly spent over 10 months in these facilities. The reported conditions resemble confinement, rather than care: tight surveillance, no regular schooling, limited psychological care, and punitive consequences for running away—including being charged with “escaping from lawful custody.”

More disturbingly, the public remains in the dark:

• How many such institutions are there?

• How many minors are held inside?

• How many attempted to flee or self-harm?

• What are the financial incentives for private contractors running these centers?

A Call for Transparency and Accountability

Ronni Aloni Sadovnik calls on Israeli legislators and the Ministry of Welfare to publish transparent data about these child facilities:

• Total number and locations of such institutions

• Budget allocated per child, per month

• Operators and oversight mechanisms

• The number of children referred due to allegations of intra-family sexual abuse

A democratic society must ensure that children who bravely report abuse are protected, not punished.
