Description
The Morocco Association for the Integration of Immigrants (Asociación Marroquí para la Integración de Inmigrantes) is a Málaga-based nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the social inclusion of immigrants, fostering intercultural dialogue, and defending human rights. It works to support migrants through various programs, including legal advice, language courses, cultural mediation, and social support to immigrants and refugees. The association focuses on integrating immigrant communities into local society through education, awareness campaigns, and workshops, gender equality, and fighting discrimination, with special attention to women, youth, and socially excluded groups. Its activities include intercultural projects, workshops on hate crime awareness, support for victims of gender-based violence, and initiatives for young people at risk of social exclusion.
