Anwal Forum was founded to assist young people from Rif, one of the poorest regions in Morocco, to receive legal aid following the suppression of protests against corruption and a stagnant economy in 2017. It also launched awareness campaigns on the severe punishments the protesters faced.   Thanks to EED support, the Anwal Forum has launched a "Youth Academy for Change", a series of workshops teaching young people practical advocacy skills such as writing petitions and evaluating public policies. “In the future, we will continue to work with young people to advocate for youth-centered public policies and keep youth engaged, to improve transparency and access to information, and to enhance participatory democracy in our region,” says founder Mohammed El Hammouchi.
