Who are we?
Muntada is a national organization committed to the social development of Palestinian society, by addressing educational and counseling needs as they relate to sexual rights and reproductive health. Regarded locally as a major professional and intellectual nexus in the field of human sexuality, Muntada is also dynamically building connections with Arab and international networks that work in this field and share the principles of universal human rights and sustainable development.
Muntada aspires to substantially raise community awareness to sexual health challenges and to create counseling and educational programs that will effectively contribute to individual and family development. By partnering and engaging with various community sectors, and by employing methods that reflect sensitivity to the socio-cultural context, Muntada hopes to effectively change the prevailing stereotypes and practices in society with regards to intimacy, family relations, gender roles, sexual orientation, in addition to situations of sexual violence and sexually transmitted diseases.
