David Pereira joined Amnesty International Luxembourg in September 2024 as Executive Director at a time when human rights and international law were under severe threat. His role was to support the section through a structural reform aimed at enhancing its impact on human rights at the national level. Deeply committed to issues relating to the right to healthcare and social justice, he also coordinates the section’s teams, including AIL’s campaigns and actions, human rights awareness and education projects, mobilisation, fundraising, finance, human resources, marketing and communications. The genocide in Gaza has proven to be a challenging topic to work with.
