Our programs are reaching women and young people in the old city where conditions are crowded recreation space is absent, and where it is easy for alienation and radicalization to set in. In the past attention to the medina has been minimal with little enhancement of popular participation and personal opportunity. TALIM and its partner, the Fondation Tanger al-Medina (FTAM) have been effective in creating a Women’s Center at the American Legation in proximity to their homes.
