About me

I'm a researcher and multimedia producer focusing on social issues and human rights violations

For the past few years, I directly participated with local civil society organizations in coordinating human rights advocacy campaigns. As a journalist, I’ve published and produced several multimedia materials regarding social issues, including the refugee crisis and racial and gender discrimination in Libya.

Libya: The role of NGOs on migration management in transit sites

Libyan civil society faces challenges of the migration crisis within a restricted space shaped by local policies and European pressure. Since the outbreak of the Libyan civil war in 2011, political efforts have varied to guarantee the success of the democratic transition phase and to strengthen democratic mechanisms, including the independence of the third sector (civil society). However, local policies have recently tended to restrict Libyan civil society spaces, negatively affecting the work of human rights and humanitarian organizations.
