Goals / Remit
Euro-Med Monitor operates as a complement to and partner with other human rights organizations in the MENA region. Through our news bulletins,
video interviews and in-depth reports, we both expose incidents with detail not available through other sources, and probe broad patterns of behavior that call
out for sustained attention. When helpful, we pose recommendations for dealing with humanitarian crises and helping those affected. Through these vehicles, we seek to:
- Elevate the awareness of and appreciation for human rights law in the countries of the region.
- Leverage international law to hold accountable perpetrators of human rights violations.
- Provide a helping hand to local institutions for the implementation of joint projects.
- Stimulate international and European human rights organizations and decision makers to focus on particular violations.
- Highlight the challenges facing marginalized populations.
- Encourage the use of peaceful and legal channels to expose the perpetrators of human rights violations, including parties that impede the work of jurists.Main EU files targeted
- EU Guidelines on promoting compliance with International Humanitarian Law (IHL)

Other financial info
Euro-Med Monitor's annual budget is limited for a number of reasons related to the organization's philosophy, which includes the following:
1. The organization refuses any form of fund from any governmental bodies or political groups.
2. Volunteers and interns constitute the backbone of our team.
3. The organization's source of funding depends mainly on crowdfunding contributions from members.
4. We have a limited salary scale for employees, of whom the most are based in the MENA region. -

Groups (European Parliament)
Euro-Med Monitor serves as an independent commission on human rights in the Middle East and North Africa, and continues to report to and
coordinate with different EU parliamentary committees concerned with human rights monitoring. In 2013, following the sinking of a boat carrying
Palestinian and Syrian refugees in October 2011, a Euro-Med Monitor team met with the EU Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE).
The organization provided the committee with the findings of its investigation opened into the incident, calling for developing a more humane
approach to address the growing number of refugees, particularly from the Palestinian territories and Syria. Also, we regularly target EU parliamentary committee
leaders in advocacy campaigns. In November 2016, following the Palestinian Authorities' deliberate cut of salaries of its employees, we urged
heads of committees on Foreign Affairs, Human Rights and Economic and Monetary Affairs to pressure the PA to stop this decision.Communication activities
Since it was founded in 2011, the Euro-Med Monitor has launched a number of projects that aim to promote the EU human rights guidelines. In 2017, in accordance
with EU guidelines on violence against women and girls and combating all forms of discrimination against them, Euro-Med Monitor initiated a project which aim is to
strengthen the ability of community based non-governmental organisations (NGO) to have their interventions better respond to women’s needs and rights by means
of engaging and empowering women inside and outside the organisations. Through the project, Euro-Med Monitor assists the participating NGO staff and teams of
women from their communities in identifying their community, group based and personal needs and solution to these, the skills and resources required to work on
the solutions they themselves have identified as important, then provide seed grants and coaching to facilitate development of projects or interventions they will develop.
Also, in accordance with the EU guidelines on children and armed conflict and the EU Guidelines for the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of the Child, Euro-Med Monitor launched
its Anti-Bullying Campaign in the aftermath of Israel’s operation Protective Edge in the Gaza Strip. The campaign supported children victims of violence and their families, and raised
awareness among school teachers on how to tackle children’s psychological problems following armed conflicts.
In addition, following the murder of UK MP Jo Cox, Euro-Med Monitor launched its Jo Cox campaign to carry forward Cox's legacy by advancing its work of advocating the rights
of refugees in Europe and supporting the vulnerable groups facing racism and marginalization.Other activities
