On this #International Day Against Torture, the United States condemns the use of torture for any reason, especially as a tool of ongoing repression. Our commitment to eliminate torture and support victims in their healing is unwavering.

You never know what someone has been through. This Torture Awareness Month, we encourage you to educate yourself about torture and it's impact on survivors. By learning more, you can better support the survivors living in your local community.

Yesterday, the SURVIVORS team received the wonderful news that our client was granted asylum. Congratulations to our client and all who made this success possible! Forensic evaluations are the most critical component to our clients' asylum cases.

These medical and psychological evaluations substantiate a client's case by documenting the physical and psychological signs of torture and trauma.

Without these evaluations, the asylum acceptance rate is less than 20%. SURVIVORS is proud to share that the asylum acceptance rate increases to over 80% with the support of forensic evaluations completed by our pro-bono and contracted providers.

This is why the SURVIVORS team remains committed to our work, mission, and clients. We won't stop until torture is ended worldwide, and all torture survivors and their families have access to the resources they need to heal and thrive.
