The Israel Women's Network published the 'Great Women's Survey 2026' on Tuesday, July 9, 2026. The survey found that 27% of women in Israel reported experiencing violent behavior from a partner or relative.

This 27% figure represents at least 900,000 women. The survey also indicated that 10% of women, approximately 350,000, reported an injury inflicted by a partner or relative. Additionally, 12% of women, about 400,000, reported the use of threats or physical force against them for sexual purposes.

Financial control was reported by 10% of women, who stated that a partner or family member exerted control over their finances. Another 17% of women experienced obsessive jealousy, surveillance, or ongoing attempts at control.

Tomer Maron, head of research at the Women's Lobby, said, "The picture that emerges from the findings of the Great Women's Survey is very, very worrying, with hundreds of thousands of women in Israel who are threatened by their partner or a family member." Maron added that "Femicide is the tip of the iceberg." She further explained, "The violence begins much earlier. We identify it in jealousy, surveillance, threats, and extortion with money, in effect, in every systematic undermining of the sense of security."

The survey also explored perceptions of domestic violence and prevention. 81% of women surveyed rejected the claim that domestic violence is a private matter to be resolved within the family. Furthermore, 61% of women surveyed opposed the claim that the police are unable to prevent or reduce domestic murder cases.

One-third of respondents identified the Israel Police as the central body responsible for preventing violence against women. The Welfare Ministry ranked second, with 25% of respondents identifying it as the central responsible body. The Israeli government was identified as central by 18% of respondents.

The 'Great Women's Survey 2026' involved data collection among 1,003 women. The Geocartography Institute conducted the survey.
