The United Against Torture Consortium Stands with Survivors on 26 June
On 26 June, the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, we came together to honour survivors, challenge impunity, and reaffirm a fundamental truth: torture has no place in our world.
This occasion also marked the launch of the first United Against Torture Consortium (UATC) newsletter—a space where, twice a year, we’ll share the latest news, powerful stories, practical tools, and collective achievements from across our global movement.
The UATC brings together over 300 organisations committed to ending torture and supporting survivors. Among them are the Association for the Prevention of Torture (APT), the International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims (IRCT), the International Federation of Action by Christians for the Abolition of Torture (FIACAT), REDRESS, the Omega Research Foundation and the World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT), and a growing network of national and regional partners working in solidarity around the world. In this special edition, we spotlight key moments from the past months—legal victories, survivor-led advocacy, regional campaigns, and tools to strengthen justice systems. Across every initiative, one message is clear: when we unite against torture, we build a more just and humane future.
