Humanity & Inclusion's economic inclusion projects aim to create better employment opportunities for people with disabilities, especially women and young people. The program also carries out activities for better care and inclusion of children on the autism spectrum. Through inclusive education, the promotion of early detection, adapted professional approaches and a pilot experiment in psycho-pedagogical care, HI aims to improve the ways professionals work with these children.
HI Tunisia also aims to build the capacities of the country’s institutions to provide technical support to victims of gender-based violence and advocate for the application of laws that protect their rights.
Use of banned explosive weapons at highest level since 2010
From Syria to Yemen, Afghanistan, Colombia, Myanmar and Tunisia, the use of banned explosive weapons increased significantly in 2014 and 2015. To mark International Day of Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action, Handicap International is calling for an immediate end to the use of these weapons.
In 2014, following elections for the first pluralist and democratic parliament, the country installed a government.
Tunisia's government faces many challenges: social and economic problems, high public expectations, strikes and social movements, a constant security threat in the country and the thorny issue of corruption.
The year 2023 was marked by an upward trend in irregular migration. Because of the increasingly complex economic, social and political situation, many Tunisian residents now share a desire to leave the country.
The representation and participation of people with disabilities remain low. It is therefore essential to support initiatives that encourage their participation in society.
Number of HI staff: 28
