Message

At OMCT, I lead advocacy and communication strategies for the Libya program, connecting legal and human rights research with policy advocacy at the UN and EU. I also serve as the program’s strategic and editorial lead, aligning published work with advocacy goals.

As Communication & Advocacy Officer at OMCT, I authored the investigative report “Forcibly Displaced Sudanese Trapped with Their Hopes at North African Borders,” leading its data analysis and drafting while supervising field data collection and graphic design. I also wrote publications used in international lobbying and engaged diplomatic stakeholders and international media.

Earlier, I managed communication programs and campaigns at GCSI - UK Cabinet Office, ESET France & Afrique Francophone, and Ogilvy. I’ve also trained Tunisian CSOs in organisational planning and project management in challenging contexts, and hold a Master's Degree in Business Law.
