Mission and objectives

Established by a group of young social activists in 2012, REFORM is an independent, secular, non-partisan Palestinian NGO that strives for a society where everyone has the capacity to participate effectively, individual and collective rights are respected, and pluralism is ensured in an independent Palestinian state. REFORM adopts a strategy of sustainably empowering marginalised groups, in particular youth and women from hard-to-reach communities, through establishing safe acting platforms, encouraging community-led development processes and shaping a more inclusive governing system that is responsive to people's needs.

Main activities related to gender equality and women's rights

REFORM employs a holistic method of combining socio-cultural and economic development through grassroots mobilisation, empowerment of women and youth, and encouraging community enterprise. As part of a strategy to affect long-term, sustainable change in the form of greater social cohesion, increased participation of youth and women in public life and a more responsive governing system, REFORM engages participants in a self-reflexive process involving the deep analysis of Palestinian cultural values and the historical development of structure in Palestinian society (informed by popular interpretations of religion, law, gender relations etc).
