 survivors of human trafficking in Israel through direct advocacy\, litigat
 ion\, policy change\, and public education. Over the past 25 years\, HRM h
 as played a pivotal role in shaping Israel’s legal and policy landscape 
 around migration and trafficking\, grounded in Jewish and democratic value
 s.\n\nIn her presentation\, Anat will speak about HRM’s vital work durin
 g one of Israel’s most complex and challenging periods. Topics may inclu
 de the rising wave of anti-migrant legislation\, the ethical and legal dil
 emmas surrounding refugee protection and detention\, the effects of war an
 d instability on vulnerable communities\, and the broader struggle to prot
