As part of the project “Supporting Empowerment
and Inclusion of Migrant Women” (AIFEM) implemented by Terre d'Asile Tunisie in
partnership with the associations Beity and CEFA, we are launching a call for
applications for “migration relays” in Grand Tunis, Sousse, Sfax and Medenine.
What is a “migration relay”?
A migrant, well integrated in his/her
community, who wants to promote compliance with migrant rights and contribute to
a better socio-economic integration of migrant communities in Tunisia. He/she
acts as a relay between his/her community and Terre d'Asile Tunisie, on a
volunteer basis.
The tasks of a "migration
relay":
- Raising awareness and informing their
communities on migrant rights
- Sharing information based on community needs
- Backing up guidance and support of migrants in
need of legal and social assistance and/or support for socio-economic
integration
- Promoting and supporting the implementation of
socio-cultural and awareness-raising activities on migration matters
“Migrant relay” will benefit from:
- Training on migrant rights (residence,
health, work, education, ...) with a focus on women’s rights (sexual and
reproductive health, discrimination and gender-based violence, ...). The
language of the training is French for Tunis, Sousse and Sfax, and English for
Medenine.
- Exchange and follow-up meetings
- Support to implement socio-cultural and
awareness-raising activities
Criteria:
The call is mainly for migrant women:

person, student, worker, entrepreneur, unemployed, member of an association or
collective, ...)
