Australia Palestine Advocacy Network
Strengthening advocacy and communications in Australia for Palestinian human rights
August 2018 to December 2021
The Australia Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN) is a national coalition of organisations and individuals seeking to influence Australia’s public policy with regard to Palestine and Israel. APAN seeks a more balanced and principled approach from the Australian government in its policies towards the Israel-Palestinian conflict based on UN resolutions and international and humanitarian law, and a more active role for Australia in encouraging all interested parties to bring about a just and lasting negotiated settlement. The Broadley Trust supports APAN’s work: with young Australian Palestinians to strengthen their advocacy capacity and take action to promote the Palestinian cause in Australia; to extend their media outreach to build awareness and capacity for media outlets to report a Palestinian perspective; and to increase social media engagement to reach new audiences.
