RESIST INJUSTICE WITH YOUR ACTION AND HELP BRING ABOUT LASTING CHANGE
Our partners ask us to speak up for the dignity and rights of those living on the margins of their communities. With your help, we can bring the voices of Christians in the Middle East to the attention of those in power. Let’s work together to make a difference - raising awareness and influencing to bring about meaningful change.
ADD YOUR VOICE TO OUR CAMPAIGNS TODAY:

Stop Trade with Settlements - End UK complicity in Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian territory
By allowing trade with Israeli settlements in the West Bank, the UK government is complicit in the maintenance and expansion of illegal Israeli settlements and thus in sustaining Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian territory.
The Olive Tree Project - Protect Palestinian land from seizure
In the occupied West Bank, land is being seized from Palestinian farmers at an unprecedented rate. Cultivated land is harder to seize, so planting new olive trees is a direct and peaceful way to help Palestinians defend their land and maintain an important source of income.

RECENT REPORTS AND OTHER RESOURCES
Access reports, policy briefings and other resources from Embrace and our partners.
Embrace’s UPR report on Syria
In June, Embrace submitted a report for the UN’s Universal Periodic Review (UPR). This represents an opportunity to ensure that the voices of our partners in Syria are heard by both the UK government and Syria’s transitional authorities. The UPR is a UN process that reviews a country’s human rights record and allows other states, including the UK, to recommend changes. Our report raises urgent concerns, including the need for an inclusive constitutional process, better protection for religious and ethnic minorities, affordable access to basic goods and services, and stronger protection for women’s rights.
THE IMPORTANCE OF ADVOCACY
“Why is action needed on Child Military Detention in the West Bank?”
“Why a UN-led aid system is vital for Gaza and why Christians should be speaking out”
“Why should Christians care about advocacy?”
