What is a “migration relay”?

A migrant, well integrated in his/her community, who wants to promote compliance with migrant rights and contribute to a better socio-economic integration of migrant communities in Tunisia. He/she acts as a relay between his/her community and Terre d'Asile Tunisie, on a volunteer basis.
