Dr. Cochav Elkayam-Levy, is an Israeli human rights activist & scholar of international law. She has spent her career fighting for women's rights & gender equality.

Then the October 7th massacre happened & Cochav's sense of social justice was completely up-ended. In the wake of the unheard of atrocities committed--particularly against women, children, & families--the human rights world was silent.

Recently Cochav exposed Hamas' horrifying methodology of terrorizing & brutalizing families in the most evil ways. Together with Irwin Cotler, Cochav coined a new classification of crimes against humanity, kinocide, the weaponization of familial bonds for strategic ends.

Cochav & her team of experts have been cataloguing & archiving videos, photos & testimonials from Hamas’ massacre and recently published an exhaustive report detailing these crimes. The work has been tireless and traumatic.

In the face of the silence and denial it's left her asking the emotionally excruciating questions: Do Israeli women’s lives even matter? Are we even human?

In this conversation, Shana Meyerson & Dr. Cochav Elkayam-Levy, discuss her work and its importance. If you believe in human rights for all people, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about truth & justice in the aftermath of 10/7.
