An ultra-Orthodox organization has developed a range of products to act as a first line of defence against the threat of seeing immodest women, Israeli media reported on Tuesday.
In a change of tactics from previous ultra-Orthodox strategies that in the past have targeted women as the culprits of lasciviousness, the Committee for Purity in the Camp offers a variety of gadgets to limit the field of view and so prevent men from exposure to over-exposed women. The devices have recently gone on sale in ultra-Orthodox neighbourhoods of Jerusalem and elsewhere.
