Middle East Nonviolence and Democracy (MEND) is an NGO situated in the Palestinian Occupied Territories in the town of Beit Hanina. MEND was founded to combat violence in both Israeli and Palestinian societies and uses methods of nonviolent resistance to bring about change. This involves coordination with local communities and other NGOs that support the same philosophy. It also involves working with children to teach them creative ways of voicing their grievances nonviolently.
MEND works to achieve these goals mainly through training, education, awareness building, conferences, public outreach and the use of modern technology. Its work is rooted in the values of nonviolence, mutual respect, equal rights and dignity for all, and the importance of developing each individual's potential.
The Advocacy Project (AP) seeks to empower its partners by encouraging information production. AP is crediting the contents of this section to the Middle East Nonviolence and Democracy (MEND).
