Advocating for the protection of civilians in conflict zones.
The Center for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC) is a prominent international NGO dedicated to advocating for the protection of civilians caught in conflict zones. Established in 2003, CIVIC works tirelessly to influence policies and practices that minimize harm to civilians during armed conflicts. The organization engages with governments, armed actors, and international bodies to ensure that civilian protection is prioritized and integrated into military operations and peacekeeping missions. Through its research, advocacy, and fieldwork, CIVIC strives to create a world where civilians are safeguarded from the ravages of war.
Headquartered in Washington, D.C., CIVIC operates globally, with a significant focus on conflict-affected regions in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. The organization conducts thorough on-the-ground assessments to understand the challenges faced by civilians and uses this data to inform its advocacy efforts.

The organization’s commitment to transparency and accountability has earned it a reputation as a leader in the field of civilian protection.
