About Us
Mawjoudin We exist is a Tunisian association that fights for equality and rights of LGBTQI++ people.
Why Mawjoudin?
Mawjoudin, because in Tunisia there is still a law that criminalizes a consenting relationship between two adults of the same sex. Mawjoudin, because being gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer or intersex in Tunisia in intolerable. Mawjoudin, because in Tunisia having sex with a person of the same sex is punishable by 3 years of prison. Mawjoudin, because homosexuality is condemned in a largely homophobic society. This homophobia is nourished by the prejudices and social standards which can lead to the persecution of the LGBTQI++ persons.
