Human Rights & Democracy for all
in the
Euro-Mediterranean Region.

About
EuroMed Rights,
A network bridging two shores.
Since 1997, EuroMed Rights has united 68 organisations from 30 countries to promote and defend human rights and democracy across the Euro-Mediterranean region. This work is strengthened by initiatives like BacklashMap, an online collaborative tool that maps and challenges resistance to gender equality in the region.
EuroMed Rights
Strengthening the collaboration between local human rights organisations.
"EuroMed Rights gathers human rights organisations from the North and South of the Mediterranean and explains how to influence decision-makers."

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
