Oren Yakobovich is a well-known social entrepreneur and human rights activist who uses visual information to highlight human rights violations and promote positive change. He served as an officer in the Israeli army, where he witnessed injustices in the Occupied Territories. This experience led him to become a conscientious objector, resulting in imprisonment that strengthened his commitment to human rights. Oren started his career at B’Tselem, an Israeli human rights organization, where he led the video department. He created the "Shooting Back" project, training many West Bank citizens to use cameras for justice. This project received several awards, including the One World Media Award. In 2008, Oren co-founded Videre Est Credere, an NGO that provides technology to oppressed communities to gather information from hard-to-reach areas. The organization has been essential in using visual evidence to expose human rights abuses and advocate for justice. As the founder and CEO of Kamara Global Group, Oren collaborates with human rights and grassroots organizations to improve their resilience through security management and strategic investigations. His work aims to protect these organizations and the social impact investors that support them. Oren has received several prestigious awards, including the 2016 Skoll Award, and is recognized as an Ashoka Fellow and TED Global Speaker. He is a strong advocate for using visual information to create sustainable change in conflict zones and often advises civil society, government, and media leaders on the role of technology in exposing human rights violations. With over 20 years of experience in human rights and filmmaking, Oren remains a vital voice in the field, inspiring positive change through his innovative methods.
Book Oren Yakobovich to inspire your team with powerful insights on using visual storytelling for social change. His unique experiences and innovative approaches will motivate action and deepen understanding of human rights issues, fostering a culture of empathy and responsibility.
