PSCCW specializes in the area of women empowerment particularly those who suffer from psychological trauma resulting from exposure to social or political violence.
Psycho-Social Counseling Center for Women was established in 1997 as an independent, non-governmental, non-profit organization. It was founded by a group of female activists who focus on women’s issues and advocate on behalf of women’s rights. PSCCW’s vision is based on complete equality and a clear belief that women’s issues do not simply affect the female population but rather are general social issues. PSCCW believes in total equality and the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women. Preventing violence against women in the Palestinian community, and internationally, is a crucial condition towards building a democratic, safe, and stable Palestinian country that conforms to laws and international conventions.
