David Rajagukguk

David is a member of the Toba Batak ethnic group from Sumatra province. In the course of his work with KSPPM he has served as a staff for the division on study, research and advocacy. He has worked to organise and encourage the formation of organisations of Indigenous people as a forum to defend their rights and to advocate on their issues both inside and outside of the court system. His advocacy campaigning has brought him to building a coalition with several NGOs, churches, media and other social institutions in order to strengthen the advocacy movement rectifying the damage that industrial presence has caused regarding Indigenous peoples. He hopes to make use of his DTP experience through mentoring Indigenous people in the future as well as equipping himself with knowledge of media and how it may be a powerful tool for human rights advocacy.
