My torturers took so much away from me, but I managed to take the smile away from them. They lost, they missed me. I will be the messenger for the lost blood. I am going to talk about it. I will never let people forget what happened and what is still happening.
People have to be reminded all the time.
Some of the excellent organizations offering treatment and other help to torture survivors. The Coalition of International NGOs Against Torture which pools resources of member organizations on issues such as prevention, direct action, impunity and rehabilitation. The Association for the Prevention of Torture which seeks to ensure the implementation of international laws forbidding torture. The World Organization against Torture, another NGO network specializing in urgent actions. The United Nations Voluntary Fund for Victims of Torture which disburses funds through NGOs providing assistance to victims and their families.
