David Yambio is a community advocate and spokesperson at the NGO Refugees in Libya. His own experiences of forced exile inspired him to fight for the human rights and well-being of migrants and refugees on both sides of the Mediterranean.
He told us about his work, the difficult path that led him to it, and his aspirations for a future where migration is recognised as 'a natural right'.
David was also one of the participants to ISHR's flagship training course, the Human Rights Defender Advocacy Programme (HRDAP).
