Diaspora & Exile Engagement

Millions of people from the MENA region live in exile or diaspora — displaced by conflict, persecution, or political repression. Many continue to engage in civic and human rights work from abroad, facing unique challenges: transnational repression, loss of legal status, disconnection from homeland movements, and the complexities of advocacy across borders.

HuMENA engages diaspora and exile communities as essential actors in the broader human rights ecosystem. We support exile-based civic initiatives, document cases of transnational repression, and create spaces for dialogue between diaspora communities and homeland-based civil society.

ARTIVISM — the intersection of art and activism — is a cross-cutting theme in this work, reflecting the creative strategies that exile communities use to sustain engagement and visibility.
