The Al-Hares Center for Studies and Media is an independent, non-profit Palestinian organization with the aim of spreading the values and culture of democracy, civil society and human rights in Palestinian society, and encouraging the participation and equality of Palestinian women.

These goals are achieved by organizing conventions, workshops, and training sessions, as well as conducting research and scientific studies in the fields of social, economic, political and cultural development.

The Center gives special attention to the public's right to access information and to accurate reporting by the media. The Center provides training for Palestinian journalists about investigative reporting to become guards of democracy and witnesses of the transformation towards a Palestinian civil society.

Al-Hares’ approach is based on transparency, justice, courage, professionalism and the values of scientific research.

The Center is registered with the Interior Ministry and Media Ministry, and is accredited by the Local Ministry and the Palestinian NGO Network (PNGO).
