What does AVIH mean in UNCLASSIFIED

AVIH stands for A Voice Is Heard. It is a global non-profit organization that works to promote Palestinian human rights and to facilitate meaningful dialogue between Palestinians and Israelis. Through awareness-raising campaigns, research, advocacy efforts, policy engagement and field projects, we strive towards ending the occupation of Palestine and achieving a just peace in the region.

AVIH works to advocate for Palestinian human rights through both public awareness campaigns and by engaging with policy makers directly. We provide training opportunities for youth in human rights monitoring, research fact-finding missions on the ground in Palestine, engage in public outreach such as organizing conferences and meetings, advocate at the UN level to highlight global recognition of Palestinian Rights, work closely with civil society partners on both sides of the conflict to facilitate dialogue and bridge building efforts among them.

At an operational level, AVIH works on capacity building efforts such as providing training opportunities for youth in areas related to human rights monitoring. This provides them with the ability to document abuses happening under occupation as well as legal assistance when appropriate. On a larger scale, we engage with policy makers directly or through third parties such as member states at various UN forums such as at committee meetings or high level events. Lastly we engage actively in public advocacy campaigns that involve raising public awareness about issues related to human rights abuses or other forms of discrimination under occupation.

Primarily our operations are based in the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt). However due to increasing need for global attention on issues relating to Palestine we have expanded our partnerships globally engaging with civil society groups and policy makers from many countries around the world. At present our offices are located primarily in Jerusalem, Ramallah and London with international representation mainly through our affiliate organizations located around Europe and North America.
