Story
REDRESS works with and for torture survivors to bring legal claims to obtain justice and reparation on their behalf. Our clients are often from profoundly marginalized communities refugees, exiles, women, children, and LGBTI. Many are members of groups who have escaped conflict, and live in exile within their communities who find themselves with nothing, while trying to deal with the life-changing physical and psychological impact of their ill-treatment.
REDRESS' work is always driven by the obstacles faced by survivors and is designed specifically to tackle deep-seated barriers impeding survivors' access to justice.The sense of injustice that accompanies torture and the typical absence of recognition of the crime often inhibits survivors' from re-establishing control over their lives.
With your support we can make a difference to the lives of a substantial number of particularly disadvantaged people, bringing benefits to the individuals and communities concerned, both directly and indirectly.
