Oxfam Tunisia

Since the revolution in 2011, Tunisia has experienced an unprecedented democratic transition. This has since paved the way for remarkable socio-economic and political changes that have offered democratization prospects that Oxfam has been supporting since 2012. 

However, despite this transition and the reforms that have accompanied it, inequalities have steadily increased, especially at the expense of the most vulnerable and the most deprived. 

Women, youth and the most marginalized populations are in Oxfam’s vision the main actors of change leading to building an effective, equal and inclusive society. The diversity of their experiences has endowed them with a unique expertise which should be recognized and valued. By becoming active citizens, they will have the necessary capacities to claim their rights and will be able to engage in reducing socio-economic and gender inequalities. Together with strong, vibrant and inclusive civil society organizations, and in alliance with other local, national, regional or global actors, they have unique potential to promote the principle of political accountability and a State that guarantees a dignified life free from discrimination to its people.
