This work is strengthened by initiatives like BacklashMap, an online collaborative tool that maps and challenges resistance to gender equality in the region.

Themes

Migration and Asylum

Restrictive migration policies and inadequate protection threaten human rights across the Euro-Mediterranean region. Asylum seekers, migrants, and refugees face unique challenges in their host countries and on the move.

Women's Rights and Gender Justice

 

EuroMed Rights strives to actively promote the rights of women, their participation in public life, as well as gender equality in the Euro-Med region.

Accountability, Justice and Space for Civil Society

Space for civil society is crucial for defending human rights. EuroMed Rights supports grassroots activism and works to hold governments accountable in the region.

Democracy and Freedoms

Democracy and freedoms are essential to human rights. EuroMed Rights defends civil liberties and works to uphold democratic principles in the region.

Economic and Social Rights

This theme is covered by a specific regional programme, building on past experiences, e.g. in Tunisia, and putting social justice concerns at the heart of EuroMed Rights’ work
