Médecins du Monde Belgique: Tamkine Migrants (Promouvoir l’intégration médicale des femmes migrantes au Maroc)

01.05.2015 - 30.04.2018

La nouvelle politique migratoire présentée par le Maroc en septembre 2013 offre une opportunité pour la concrétisation de la volonté du pays de respecter ses engagements internationaux envers les migrants et leur intégration. Pour des raisons administratives, financières ou par manque de capacités, les institutions marocaines ne sont pas encore en mesure de généraliser leur prestations aux femmes migrantes vulnérables. Ce projet vise à améliorer l’accès médico-psycho-social des femmes migrantes au Maroc (Rabat et Oujda) en institutionnalisant et transférant le savoir-faire de la société civile aux structures publiques.
