Domestic violence against women is a wide - spread problem in Israel. The same with mobbing, child abuse, violence at schools and violence against teachers.
A stereotype opinion claims that husbands of Sephardi origin tend to beat their wives more than Ashkenazi husbands. Some time ago, a Belzer Chassid told me that domestic violence in haredi society is mostly found in Sephardi families.
I am not denying that domestic violence is taking place in all Israeli societies and from all backgrounds, but I do still claim that the percentage is much higher in Sephardi families. A high percentage of violence against women can also be found among Russian and Ethiopian immigrants as well as in the Arab society.
There are shelters for women and Jewish religious women should know about BAT MELECH; a shelter for frum abused women. The haredi press has been reporting about "Bat Melech" quite a few times and doesn't deny domestic violence in haredi families.
