Returning Home
From Syria to Tunisia
Violent extremism affects many lives in Tunisia, but now there is a new challenge. Around 3,000 Tunisians left to join terrorist groups abroad, 600 of which have returned home and 800 have been killed whilst fighting. But many women and children born to ISIS fighters have been unable to return. They remain stuck in Syrian and Libyan refugee camps, where they are susceptible to recruitment and radicalization.
Hedayah works closely with the Tunisian Government to support children. The International Center of Excellence for Countering Violent Extremism, has already trained over 99 educators, psychologists and social workers working in detention centers and rehabilitation and reintegration centers to support the effective reintegration of children.
