[Painting of Vicky Shiran - Efrat Hasson de Botton]
Social activist, media woman and poet
At age 13, after her father was fired from his job, she left school to help with the family economy. At the age of 17 she completed her matriculation studies and went on to study for a doctorate in criminology.
One of the leading leaders in the movements for social justice that arose in Israel since the early 1970s.
When the television series "Pillar of Fire" was screened, which dealt with the history of Zionism, she petitioned the High Court, claiming that the role of the Mizrahis in the restoration of the state had disappeared. The petition was called "High Court Sheeran."
She was active in feminist movements engraved on the banner of liberation and empowerment of Mizrahi women. Founded and headed the Women and Gender Studies Program at Beit Berl Academic College.
Her writing spanned many areas: journalistic writing, academic writing, screenwriting, storytelling and poetry.
Our streets have a special charm.
They reflect history and a culture of values and heritage.
As part of the week "in full exclusion" we will ascend to the miracle of inspiring women who have gained recognition and appreciation by naming a street after their name.
Today, not many streets in the city are named after women, and the municipality is working to rectify the situation: last year, the municipality commemorated more than ten women - artists, creators, social activists, women and spirit, and read about streets and public institutions across the city.
