The Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung (RLS) is committed to fostering understanding and addressing the complex dynamics of migration between Tunisia and Morocco in relation to Europe. Migration has profound implications for migrant families, influencing socio-economic stability, cultural dynamics, and human rights across the region.

Objective

RLS seeks to commission comprehensive research papers that explore and analyze the multifaceted dimensions of migration between Tunisia and Morocco vis-à-vis Europe, with a particular focus on the impact on migrant families.

  3. Legal and Policy Frameworks: Evaluation of existing legal frameworks and policies governing migration between Tunisia and Morocco, with a focus on human rights, protection mechanisms, and their implementation.
