Supporting the human rights movement

Civil society actors across the world frequently operate in challenging or hostile environments in their efforts to defend human rights. The World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT) supports members of the SOS-Torture network, along with local actors, working to end torture and impunity and to support the rehabilitation of victims. We provide support by:

  • Engaging in joint activities and campaigns.
  • Sharing expertise and capacity-building opportunities.
  • Providing financial support to local actors, individuals, organisations, and initiatives, primarily outside the European Union.

This assistance enables them to carry out their crucial work in defending human rights and ending torture.

Our activities in support of the human rights movement are made possible by the generous contributions of our donors.
