Gisha is an Israeli human rights organization, founded in 2005, whose goal is to protect the freedom of movement of Palestinians, especially residents of the Gaza Strip. The organization promotes rights guaranteed by international and Israeli law. It uses legal assistance and public advocacy to protect the rights of Palestinian residents.[1]

It represents individuals and organizations in Israeli administrative proceedings and courts. Gisha means both "access" and "approach". Gisha is registered in Israel as an independent, non-partisan, not-for-profit organization.[2][3]
