Yesh Din: Volunteers for Human Rights (Hebrew: יש דין) is an Israeli organization working in Israel and in the West Bank. The organization was founded in 2005 by a group of women who previously worked with the organization Machsom Watch. The purpose of Yesh Din, as reflected in its publications, is to work "for structural, long-term improvement to human rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT)".
The organization's name in Hebrew – there is law – "reflects the belief that equitable application of local and international law is an important component in upholding human rights".
Yesh Din collects and disseminates information regarding violations of Palestinians' human rights in the West Bank; applies public and legal pressure on Israeli authorities; and raises public awareness regarding these issues.
