Who we are?
Neda’a for human rights and community development is an independent, non-profit youth organization that protects human rights and supports victims of wars and armed conflicts in Libya. In addition, it is concerned with persons with disabilities, refugees and migrants. It also seeks to be in a direct contact with any internal or external issues related to society.
Neda’a organization for human rights and community development was established in January 2020. It was registered in Libya as a civil society institution, and it was founded by university professors and students, and civil society activists. This is with a great confidence in the importance and necessity of its existence as a body responsible for defending and advocating human rights issues, particularly since Libya is currently in a difficult stage of transition into a state of law and justice.
Neda’a organization does not only work to follow the human rights situation in Libya, but it also seeks to be an effective tool towards creating local public opinion through awareness raising considering the aim of pressuring the concerned authorities within the Libyan state to take measures that will push towards improving the humanitarian situation. Furthermore, it puts an end to human rights violations while ensuring that there is no impunity.
Neda’a aims to achieve its goals on issuing continuous human rights statements and reports on the human rights situation in Libya.
It also works through workshops, seminars and panel discussions to establish a culture of respect in this regard. It will also be in a direct contact with the competent authorities in the country to improve the human rights situation and to support the refugees, migrants and victims of armed conflicts.
