Description: 

"DIGNITY - Danish Institute Against Torture is a self-governing institution independent of party politics. In Denmark, DIGNITY treats refugees who have survived torture and it undertakes research in torture and torture sequelae. By doing so, DIGNITY has gained specialised knowledge and experience on the basis of which the interventions of DIGNITY?s partners in the South are developed and targeted.

The experiences are used in DIGNITY?s education and advocacy in order to contribute to the global effort to abolish torture..."
