Mossawa works to promote equality for Arab\Palestinians within the borders of Israel. Mossawa utilizes advocacy methods to change the social and political status of Arab/Palestinians in Israel in an attempt to gain minority recognition and rights, without sacrificing their national and cultural rights as Palestinians. Mossawa cooperates with other NGO's, local councils, elected representatives of society, international and local human rights organizations, and embassies in an effort to achieve our set goals and establish a solid networking arena. Mossawa's team and board are involved in every aspect of programming, including advocacy, analysis, outreach, public knowledge, social & political justice and change -- including the improvement of women's status in society. The activities that Mossawa implements focus on the empowerment of persons and organizations that cooperate to change the existing Palestinian situation. Mossawa implements programs on several tiers: Social and economic justice for Arab citizens in Israel Protection of human rights and anti-racism work Political mobilization through advocacy for policy change Capacity building for Arab local councils and NGO's International advocacy and cooperation The center publishes position papers and policy analysis and disseminates them to political and social activists
Today's Situation"The army that will defeat terrorism doesn't wear uniforms, or drive Humvees, or calls in air-strikes. It doesn't have a high command, or high security, or a high budget. The army that can defeat terrorism does battle quietly, clearing minefields and vaccinating children. It undermines military dictatorships and military lobbyists. It subverts sweatshops and special interests.Where people feel powerless, it helps them organize for change, and where people are powerful, it reminds them of their responsibility." ~~~~ Author Unknown ~~~~
