Turkey

In the current context marked by the increasing erosion of legal norms and civic space, civil society organisations and human rights defenders are particularly targeted by intimidation and legal harassment. In response to this unprecedented threat against fundamental rights and fair trial principles in Turkey, EuroMed Rights, in collaboration with its local members and partners, is focusing its work on monitoring human rights national policies, trial monitoring and the rule of law, and on supporting members in strengthening their collaboration, networking and advocacy activities in the country, as well as at European and international levels. Regular meetings are held to coordinate trial monitoring and advocacy activity and to discuss trends in violations of fair trial principles and contingency measures.

Themes

Migration and Asylum

Restrictive migration policies and inadequate legislative protection across the Euromed (and beyond) mean that asylum seekers, migrants, and refugees face unique challenges in adjusting to life in their host countries.

Women's Rights and Gender Justice

EuroMed Rights strives to actively promote the rights of women and women’s participation in public life as well as promoting gender equality in the Euro-Med region.

Accountability, Justice and Space for Civil Society

In recent years, many governments across the Euro-Mediterranean region have tended to adopt ever more repressive measures and policies to curtail civil society activism and muzzle critical voices.

Democracy and Freedoms

The status of democracy and fundamental freedoms in the Euro-Mediterranean region has continued to backslide or remained at a negative status quo over the past three years.

Economic and Social Rights

A new regional programme of EuroMed Rights focuses on economic and social rights (ESR), building on our extensive work in Tunisia over the last years. The Network strives to put social justice concerns at the heart of its work.
