Organisation for the prevention of intense suffering

OPIS is a recently founded Swiss “think-and-do tank” that puts compassion at the heart of the society of the future. OPIS promotes the ethical principle that nothing matters more than preventing or relieving the physical or emotional suffering of sentient beings, both humans and non-humans, with highest priority given to those suffering most intensely. Their vision is a gentler world where the needs of all are met, and where decision-making is based on evidence and compassion. OPIS is making a difference through education, advocacy, films and creative communication campaigns that advocate both ethical systemic change and solutions to specific causes of preventable suffering.
