They don't pretend to get anyone out of prostitution, and are pleased when a woman hangs up in anger: "That's wow"
A ynet magazine article presents "Kav Shira", a dedicated helpline for women in prostitution, providing a listening ear during evening and night hours. The volunteers, from engineers to teachers, are trained to listen without judgment or trying to "get" women out of prostitution. The article describes difficult conversations and explains that even a hang-up is considered an achievement.
A ynet magazine article presents "Kav Shira", a dedicated helpline for women in prostitution, established by the organization "Lo Omdot MeNaged" and providing a listening ear during evening and night hours. The article describes the training of volunteers, who include teachers, lawyers, and high-tech workers, and the difficult calls they receive – from a woman who was raped at an escort agency to a woman who argued with her pimp. The line manager, Bracha Shapira, explains that the line does not pretend to get women out of prostitution or provide treatment, but rather to offer emotional support for loneliness and distress. The organization's CEO, Naama Goldberg, notes that many women fear turning to general helplines due to concerns that a man will answer or that they won't be understood. The article emphasizes that even a hang-up or refusal of a material request is considered a success, as it indicates clear boundaries.
