Life as an activist - Tunisia and the Middle East and Northern Africa region

In the aftermath of the Arab Spring, a transformative wave swept across the Arab world, kindling aspirations of change. Yet, the pivotal question lingers: what has become of democracy in this region that once held such promise? The path to progress is increasingly obscured.

Activists now face an uphill struggle. Their mission to foster a more inclusive democracy is marred by an onslaught of hate speech and the suppression of minority groups.  Authoritarianism appears to be staging a disquieting comeback, casting a shadow over the very essence of democracy.

Join us for a webinar featuring Hichem Mehrzi, a passionate political and human rights activist hailing from Tunisia. He will share his profound insights on the journey of activism for a more robust democracy in his homeland.
