No one should ever be tortured. Yet, children and young people around the world continue to witness or experience torture and abuse, causing trauma that can persist long after they reach safety. The impacts of torture can affect a young survivor’s ability to trust, build relationships and feel safe. Young survivors urgently need specialist psychological support to recover from their experiences and live safe and healthy lives.
Freedom from Torture provides specialist therapeutic care to torture survivors in the UK. Our clinicians work with survivors to rebuild their physical and mental health. Our doctors document evidence of torture. Our immigration and welfare advisors help survivors with their asylum cases and living conditions. This Christmas, your gift can provide young survivors the expert support they need to heal from trauma, re-establish relationships and trust and rebuild their lives.
