Abdoulaye Moussa

Abdoulaye Moussa is from the Central African Republic (CAR) and has over five years of experience in community work defending the rights of asylum seekers and refugees in Israel and throughout Europe with Amnesty International Israel, the African Refugee Development Center, and the Feinstein International Center. Moussa holds a university degree from El Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt. Abdoulaye Moussa is currently an active member of Coordination des Organizations de Musulmans Centrafricains (COMUC), an organization involved in defending the rights of the minority and promoting coexistence between different communities in the CAR. He is working with the Central African government to develop an education system for the nomadic, including outreach to conservative families to maintain the highest number of girls at schools, and collaborating with Columbia Law School on issues related to the right to education for Muslim students in CAR, who have experienced many forms of discrimination since the start of the ongoing conflict. He is also working to establish collaboration with Amnesty International France in the documentation field. Moussa is committed to building an effective social justice system, which he is confident his country will witness one day, and an open-minded society of equal opportunities for all the citizens regardless of their social or economic status, religion, ethnicity, and political opinion.
