DAIA (Delegación de Asociaciones Israelitas Argentinas) is the umbrella organization of Argentina's Jewish community. As such, it represents the community in official events and conducts its contacts with authorities.

DAIA has been strongly involved in fighting Antisemitism in Argentina, and claiming for justice in the 1994 AMIA bombing (AMIA being the body that manages the main operations of the Jewish community in Buenos Aires and other cities, namely education, hospitals, retirement houses, and burial).

In 2007, the group reported that antisemitic attacks in Argentina increased by 32% in 2006 over 2005.^[1]
