The United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (UNCAT) defines torture as:
Any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him or a third person information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is

suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity; acts under these circumstances include rape or sexual violence. It does not include pain or suffering arising only from, inherent in or incidental to lawful sanctions.

Systems aren't always built for the people who need them most.
Survivors of torture have known that for a long time. This Charter starts with survivors, and asks the rest of us to stand up.

Throughout the month of June we will be highlighting The Charter of Rights of Victims and Survivors of Torture.

This Charter is a collection of survivor voices brought together to shape a global roadmap for what justice actually looks like.

A former preacher in her home country, this client found it difficult to access parts of herself that had faded due to her traumatic past. When she first came to us, she would stay at home, unable to leave the house and unwilling to talk to anyone.

Now, she has reconnected with those parts of herself that felt long gone. Among other successes, she is working with our case managers and medical case manager who have helped her find a clinic that is only a short walk away from her home. Allowing her to live independently and spend quality time outside of the house.

Torture happens every day. And ending it is everyone's work.

Every decision. Every session. Every moment with a client.

These values are the standard we hold ourselves to, day in and day out.

They're who we are, and who we're always working to be.

Last year, we came together in a way that reminded us why this work matters. Not just the cause, but the community behind it.
