Using the New Tactics Strategic Effectiveness Method, organizations in Tunisia were able to push public transportation executives to agree to make the most popular metro line in Tunis accessible for people with disabilities.

From Training to Action: Disability Rights Advocacy

“Put Yourself in my Shoes” is a campaign organized by the City for All Society (Madnia) in partnership with the Tunis Forum for Youth Empowerment (TFYE). The campaign has the support of the Tunisian Organization for the Defense of the Rights of People with Disabilities and the International Disability Organization, focusing on the rights of people with disabilities.

These organizations seek inclusivity for people with disabilities or special needs. Members of the campaign attended a New Tactics in Human Rights’ Strategic Effectiveness Method training that coincided with the kick off of the campaign. Attending the training affected how activists working on the campaign looked at advocacy. They built on what they learned to further shape the campaign. As a result of the successful campaign, officials at the local transportation company agreed to make the most commonly used metro line (number 4) accessible for people with disabilities as the model, with more lines to follow.
