In these unprecedented times, moral clarity and courageous leadership are more vital than ever. The atrocities of October 7—marked by the deliberate targeting of women, children, and families in Israel, and the widespread use of sexual violence—have shaken the very foundations of humanity and justice. To capture the gravity of these crimes, I coined the term ‘Kinocide’—the systematic weaponization of families and a deliberate assault on human dignity—together with Irwin Cotler, founder of the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights. Jay Rosenzweig, as CEO of Rosenzweig & Company, Board Chair of the Wallenberg Centre, and author of the 20th Annual Rosenzweig Report, has been a relentless advocate for women’s rights and leadership. His unwavering commitment to addressing gender-based violence and systemic inequality underscores that confronting these injustices is not just a moral imperative but a crucial step toward building a just, equitable, and inclusive future for all.
