Mr. Thibagar was displaced from his hometown of Mirissuvul, located on the Jaffna peninsula, a region of Sri Lanka devastated by more than 25 years of civil war.

As a beneficiary of USAID's voter registration awareness program implemented by the Home for Human Rights (HHR), he realized the importance of voting and decided to register.
