Irct International Rehabilitation Council For Torture Victims

The International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims (IRCT) is the umbrella for 160 independent torture rehabilitation organisations in over 76 countries. Our goal is to treat 60,000 torture survivors and their families - each year. Our vision is a world without torture. However, as long as the practice of torture continues, we need to ensure that persons and communities subjected to torture receive full reparation and health-based rehabilitation, which they are entitled to. Our mission is to ensure that torture victims are able to access appropriate health-based torture rehabilitation services. We aim to tackle impunity, achieve full access to justice for victims of torture and prevent torture worldwide. We strive to become a leading hub of global knowledge on health-based rehabilitation and lead global consensus-making processes on the right to rehabilitation’s contents, scope and standards.
