Tunisian Forum for Economic and Social Rights
The Tunisian Forum for Economic and Social Rights (; , or FTDES) is a non-governmental organization in Tunisia. FTDES studies and makes recommendations about such socioeconomic issues as protest movements, economic policy, unemployment, state violence, transitional justice, anti-corruption, marginalization of Tunisia's interior (west-central) regions, and the Mediterranean migration crisis. The organization cites the January 2008 Gafsa Basin protests as well as the 2011 revolution as inspiration for its work. The current FTDES executive director is Alaa Talbi. Among the core activities of the FTDES is researching and publishing monitoring reports on current issues of social and economic concern in Tunisia. In 2015, the FTDES worked with families of missing youth who had migrated to Italy to pressure the government into forming a commission of inquiry about their fates. Collaborations
