Sawa Organization

Sawa is a leading Palestinian organization dedicated to providing support, protection and social counseling for survivors of violence. Sexual, gender-based   and domestic violence against women and children remains widespread  in Palestine. Together with our partners, Sawa combats violence against women and children in Palestinian society.  Established in 1998 by a small but determined group of female volunteers, Sawa has  grown into a mainstream non-governmental  organization operating a national helpline for victims of violence across the Palestinian Territories.  Our primary beneficiaries are battered and abused women and children.
