Tutmonde e.V.

About us

Tutmonde is a migrant organization that was founded in Stralsund, Germany, in 2006. Ever since our foundation we have been able to look back on a close partnership with the district Adult Education Centre in Vorpommern-Rügen in Stralsund, which has allowed us to set up our association's headquarters on their premises, since we work on a voluntary basis and without financial resources.
The strong presence of right-wing extremists at the time encouraged us to take the step of founding an association in order to help migrants to have a voice in urban society together with other civil society actors and to fight for a democratic society.

Tutmonde means "worldwide" in the world language Esperanto. In this sense, we consider ourselves to be a migrant organization committed to helping to shape a fairer world. This starts right on our doorstep and in our everyday life.

Our goals
• to strengthen the rights of migrant women*,
• to provide and protect children's rights under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and
• to help shape development policy issues and solutions locally and regionally in order to take responsibility for a more equitable distribution of resources directly on site.

What we do
The focus of our commitment is in particular the situation and empowerment of girls and women with a history of flight and migration, their political and social participation and equal rights for girls, women and LGBTI* and a gender-reflected social participation of children and those persecuted due to racism.
