Strengthening Independent Media for an Inclusive Governance in Tunisia

Program overview

This project aims to improve inclusive governance in Tunisia by strengthening services and protections related to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and gender-based violence (GBV) for women, adolescents, and gender-diverse people in rural areas. It will train journalists, students, and youth to safely report on SRHR and GBV, ensuring that marginalized voices are amplified in national media.

The project will also build the capacity of health workers and community leaders to promote informed health decisions and challenge harmful gender norms. It will support women’s rights organizations (WROs) to advocate for gender-responsive policies and strengthen their collaboration with the government and media to drive broader attention to SRHR and GBV issues.
