Center for Victims of Torture
About Business Network
The Center for Victims of Torture works toward a future in which torture ceases to exist and its victims have hope for a new life. We are an international nonprofit dedicated to healing survivors of torture and violent conflict. We provide direct care for those who have been tortured, train partners around the world who can prevent and treat torture, and advocate for human rights and an end to torture.

Rehabilitated over 30,000 torture and war trauma survivors through direct healing.
Engaged in post-conflict community building after some of the world’s deadliest wars, working in Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Jordan and Kenya.
Pioneered research in torture survivor rehabilitation to better understand the effects of torture and how best to heal survivors.
