Eid Hijazi street- Rashed Khader Building- basement floor, P.O. Box 618, Hebron, Palestine.
International Palestinian Youth League (IPYL) is an independent non-governmental organisation based in Hebron. The IPYL was founded in May 1997 by a group of young Palestinians with the vision of empowering youth in order to confront the various economic, social and political challenges facing Palestine in the context of the on-going Israeli occupation of the West Bank.
WHY IPYL?
The reality of Palestinian youth is different from any other place:
- Israeli occupation is leaving deep marks on the Palestinian youth’s attitude and aspirations.
- Palestinian youth participation in public life is very limited and never on a decision making level.
- Uncertainness about the future perspectives and hopelessness reinforce the feeling of alienation, impotence and confusion among youth.
IPYL’s OBJECTIVES
- To encourage young people to:
- Have an active community involvement.
- Understand the importance of democracy, human rights principles and international humanitarian laws.
- Develop a spirit of independence and creativity.
- Recognize and respect cultural diversity.
- Work with young people in the neighboring countries to achieve a real peace.
- To promote an end to discrimination and the respect of diversities.
- To assist Palestinian society’s underprivileged & marginalize sectors.
