In 2022, EuroMed Rights celebrates its 25th anniversary! Since its inception, EuroMed Rights has become one of the most prominent and most active actors in the Euro-Mediterranean region on human rights protection and democracy promotion. To mark this milestone, we asked members from North and South to tell us what EuroMed Rights meant to them and their organisation. Read the interviews below and click here for the foreword from Wadih Al-Asmar and Rasmus Alenius Boserup. Also visit our dedicated 25th anniversary webpage!
"After the establishment of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, the initiators of EuroMed Rights felt that creating some sort of platform to monitor the Barcelona Process would enhance human rights work significantly." Kamel Jendoubi, Tunisia
"I think the greatest benefit of being a member is the exchange of experience with other human rights activists, including from the North. Being a human rights defender is tough and we may find solace in sharing our experience and our highs and lows, it gives us energy, it keeps us up and running!" Eva Abu Halaweh, Jordan
"We always tried to bring a certain dimension on European issues, to analyse them from a different perspective. It worked and that shows how important and impactful the work of the EuroMed Rights network can be!" Catherine Teule, France
"This is a network of people and not just a network of good intentions. It's about understanding and feeling what a denial of human rights means in people’s lives, so we can do something about it together. Very few networks in the world offer this kind of activities." Tony Daly, Ireland
