About Us

About Us:

The Palestinian Centre for Peace and Democracy PCPD is a civil society, non-profit, Palestinian non-governmental organization that was established in 1992. PCPD works to achieve a just peace based on international legitimacy, where it promotes a genuine peace based on UN Resolutions 242 and 338, leading to the establishment of an independent, democratic Palestinian state on the borders of the occupied areas in 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

PCPD forges a feminist perspective to achieve gender equality, social justice, and freedoms and to build a vibrant and tolerant Palestinian state that enjoys peace and security, a state that is accountable, committed to the rule of law, and is open to the participation of all despite sex, religion, color, or political thoughts.

PCPD is committed to promoting a culture that promotes women’s and youth’s political empowerment. A culture that expands women's opportunities for leadership roles, listens to their voices, and provides a safe space for them to participate in political and public life, as well as decision-making processes; a culture committed to gender equality, women's and girls' empowerment, and the abolition of sexual and gender-based violence.
