WHO ARE WE ?
Doctors of the World is an international medical development NGO that is part of an international network. We provide medical assistance to vulnerable groups in Belgium and in the rest of the world. We want universal health care coverage where every person has access to care, without barriers.
In Belgium and around the world, our projects are aimed at all people who have no or no access to health care. In particular, they are structured in five axes: people on the margins of society, children in vulnerable situations, women, etc, migrant or displaced persons and victims of crises or conflicts.
To carry out our mission, we rely on three pillars :
- Heal : give real access to care to the population.
- Change: more than helping, we want to change things in the long run.
- Testify : we do not remain silent. Thanks to our experience and our presence on the ground, we challenge the powers (local, regional and (inter)national) with facts, figures and realities.
Our projects follow a series of values common to our entire organization: Social justice, Empowerment, Independence, Commitment, Balance.
CONTEXT
Over the past decade, the migration issue has become a central political issue for both shores of the Mediterranean. Due to the political and security instability in the countries of sub-Saharan Africa, the deterioration of economic conditions as well as climate change, EU countries have identified more than 50,300 irregular entries via the central Mediterranean route in the first five months of 2023 (more than double qu’ in 2022).
Tunisia is today’ a country of reception, transit but also of privileged departure given its geographical location. It welcomes tens of thousands of people on the move, migrant·, refugee·, asylum seeker and candidate· at the start, many having arrived after a difficult journey, often marked by exposure to violence, and many more, to abuse and deprivation.
These people – for a large part very young – do not know how to assert their rights to access services and do NOT’are aware of the mandates and roles of actors. They pose different challenges for inclusion in protection systems: health care including Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (SMSPS), etc, fight against Gender-based Violence (GGBV), legal assistance, education, accommodation and access to housing but also access to’ employment and taking into account their specific vulnerabilities. Even more, this situation puts them in the position of passive victims and not of’acteur·s of their own lives.
The support and service network of institutional and civil society actors working in protection suffers from various gaps in technical and structural capacities, including, coordination and’inclusion of the most vulnerable. The response to recent crisis situations, which are often disorganized and inadequate, has further demonstrated this state of affairs.
In addition, unaccompanied children, without the protection of their parents or families, are particularly vulnerable to trafficking. Traffickers exploit this vulnerability by manipulating children to subject them to various forms of exploitation, including sexual, professional or criminal, thereby creating a major risk to their physical and psychological well-being and long-term trauma. Child victims of trafficking can be difficult to identify, because being often in fear and mistrust towards institutions and with little knowledge of the available protective devices.
With its know-how and experience with these audiences, Doctors of the World (MDM) aims to contribute to a more appropriate and coordinated response to protection by strengthening the capacities of actors to analyze and respond to the needs of children and young people on the move, to act in a more coordinated and synergistic network and to anticipate urgent needs arising from contextual disturbances. Doctors of the World (MDM) intervenes on both forms of trafficking by providing direct assistance and protection to Trafficking Victims (VT) and through community-based activities in an objective of’involvement of communities and’social inclusion of survivors. As a partner of the’National Institute for the Fight against Trafficking in Persons, the,MdM is part of the National Mechanism of’Orientation and supports the detection of, ’ identification and’ orientation of victims of trafficking (153 VT in 2021-2022) but also capacity building of institutional partners and civil society (23 people in 2021).
