About this program
Since July 2025 UCPiP has kept a 24/7 protective presence in the Bedouin community of Ras al-Auja in the South Jordan Valley, where residents face near-daily attacks and displacement. Teams of trained international and local protectors work in cohorts of about three months.
The project is building its teams toward a long-term goal of 100 highly trained protectors across the West Bank, and is particularly looking for people with prior experience in unarmed civilian protection or accompaniment.
What participants do
- Provide accompaniment and direct protection to vulnerable families
- Document incidents and strengthen local resilience
- Work alongside Palestinian partner organisations

About Unarmed Civilian Protection in Palestine (UCPiP)
A Palestinian and international co-led project using proven unarmed civilian protection methods to protect civilians and prevent violence. It aims to deploy 100 experienced protectors to Palestine for at least a year, strengthen cooperation among the 22+ groups already providing protective presence, and began with a pilot in Ras al-Auja in the Jordan Valley.
