“For me, the real rehabilitation from torture has been their warmth, respect, confidence, and concern”
Ali, Iran
Giving people back their lives and their hope is the best job we can imagine, and doing this takes courage, determination, and deep commitment. But that’s not enough: we need financial resources to treat the physical and mental wounds of those who come to us for help.
Doctors
Medici Contro la Tortura (Doctors Against Torture) is a volunteer association that offers care and support to the victims of torture and other forms of cruel, inhuman, degrading treatment, no matter what their country of origin.
Against Torture
Torture is practiced in over 100 countries around the world. Three quarters of the global population live under governments that employ it. One refugee in four has been tortured.
What we do
Those who seek help from Medici Contro la Tortura are assisted by teams that include physicians, psychologists, social workers, and cultural mediators.
