crime syndicates who pay Bedouin smugglers to transport their
“goods” across the Egyptian border. Once in Israel, victims are
conscripted to sex work, often resold to pimps and brothel own-
ers, and subjected to violence.

The Israeli advocacy organization Atzum-Justice Works has
been working tirelessly to solve this human rights crisis through
its Task Force on Human Trafficking. TFHT is the only organi-
zation focused on changing Israel’s prostitution laws, and has
led the charge for Israel to adopt the so-called “Nordic model,”
which criminalizes prostitution for purveyors and purchasers,
and protects victims.

With the support of pivotal grants by the Jewish Federation
affinity group Women of Vision, TFHT’s efforts have made
steady progress through the years, first changing the conversa-
tion around trafficking, then gaining ground in Knesset — until
at last, victory.

After 11 years of work, the TFHT-authored “Prohibition of
Consumption of Prostitutions Services Bill” became Israeli law on Dec. 31, 2018.
In addition, the government authorized a budget increase of 90 million NIS
to expand and improve rehabilitation programs for survivors of prostitution.
While the work to eradicate the inhumane practice of sex trafficking continues,
the new law — which takes effect this July — will bring tremendous positive

Jewish Philly Podcast
Episode 24: Michael Barkann

THIS MONTH, we’re sharing results of the Jewish Federation’s new population study and
what it tells us about local millennials, followed by a conversation on Israeli elections and
Super Tuesday results with Jewish Exponent reporter Jesse Bernstein. Finally, we’re digging
in to the backstory of just why we wear crazy costumes on everyone’s favorite holiday, Purim.

We also had the immense honor to sit down the legendary Philadelphia reporter and sports
broadcaster Michael Barkann to talk about how his Judaism and love for sports intersected
at an early age, his long career covering local and international sporting events and his top
favorite Philadelphia sports memories and teams of all time.
