African Migrants in Tunisia: Facing Discrimination and Limited Sympathy

In recent years, Tunisia has become a key transit point for African migrants seeking refuge or better opportunities in Europe. However, African migrants in Tunisia often face discrimination and find little sympathy as they navigate the challenges of an unfamiliar environment.

They are often subjected to unfair treatment, racial profiling, and verbal abuse, making it challenging for them to integrate and establish a sense of belonging. The colour of their skin becomes a marker of difference, leading to exclusion from certain social and economic opportunities.

Many face significant barriers to accessing healthcare services due to language barriers, lack of proper documentation, and discrimination from healthcare providers. Similarly, children of African migrants may encounter difficulties enrolling in schools due to administrative hurdles and cultural biases.
