Mossawa Center conducts critical research and advocacy on the most pressing issues concerning the Palestinian minority in Israel.
The Mossawa Center, the Advocacy Center for Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel, was established in 1999 to promote the economic, social, cultural, and political rights of the Palestinian Arab minority in Israel and the recognition of this community as a national indigenous minority with its own national, cultural, and historical distinctiveness. The Mossawa Center seeks to promote a democratic society and acts against all forms of discrimination. The Mossawa Center is headquartered at the historic Carmel Center.
Today, the Mossawa Center is one of the leading civil society organizations in Israel and especially in the Palestinian Arab community in Israel. It engages in economic research and state budget analysis, governmental advocacy, international advocacy, community organizing, strengthening Arab civil society through capacity and network-building, women's and youth empowerment, outreach to the Jewish community, collaboration with Palestinians in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and media advocacy.
