The International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims (IRCT) is a global network of civil society organisations and independent experts who support survivors of torture to heal and rebuild their lives through rehabilitation, including medical, psychological, legal and social support. We also produce forensic evidence, publish academic research, and fight for justice. Born from a collaboration between Danish doctors and human rights groups in the 1970s, today the IRCT is the world’s largest membership-based organisation specialising in the treatment and documentation of torture. Operating at the intersection of medicine and law, we currently have 176 member centres in 80 countries across every region of the world, staffed by around 4,000 professionals – doctors, psychologists, lawyers, social workers, physiotherapists, and others.
