The organization

Created in 2011, the Tunisian Association for the Defense of Individual Liberties, (www.adlitn.org) is an association specializing in the defense of individual freedoms, through its extensive research, studies on religious freedoms, the body, sexual rights, the rights of minorities and discriminated against, sex change, the rights of people living with HIV / AIDS and its weekly press review ...

The mission of the ADLi is to carry out studies relating to individual freedoms which allow human rights defenders to have a solid intellectual base for the preparation of the various arguments in order to lead the pleas in the matter;

The ADLI also works to draw attention to the situation of individual freedoms through the weekly monitoring of the Tunisian media and participates (with all its partners of the Civil Collective for Individual Liberties) in all campaigns and activities for the defense of individual freedoms;

In this context, ADLI, in partnership withASF and  DAMJ, is about to start a 2-year project with the overall objective of contributing to the fight against all forms of violence and discrimination suffered by sexual minorities in Tunisia.

The project will focus on three specific interrelated objectives: 1) facilitate access to legal aid services tailored to the needs of target groups; 2) strengthen the capacities of civil society organizations to jointly advocate for individual freedoms; 3) influence public policies through a mainstream campaign and through advocacy.
