[edit]

Doron Matalon was born and raised in Beit Aryeh-Ofarim. Her father is a manager at IBM and her mother is a kindergarten teacher. The meaning of her name is "gift" in both Hebrew and Greek. She served as a sergeant in the Northern Command of the Israeli army.[2]

In December 2011, Matalon gained national publicity after a sex segregation incident on a Jerusalem bus. She said a 45-year-old Haredi man demanded she move to the back of the bus, threatening her and calling her a prostitute, but she refused. The incident was covered extensively by the Israeli media, and she became a symbol of women's empowerment.[3][4] Matalon pressed charges, and the man was later convicted of sexually harassing her.[5]
