The Fund has enabled the OMCT to remain, today, the only international human rights NGO to grant – with support from its network of member organisations and partners – direct and multidimensional emergency aid to any torture victim, wherever they may be across the globe. From the time it began its work, the OMCT envisioned delivering assistance as part and parcel of the fight for human rights rather than solely as a humanitarian measure to relieve individual suffering.
In the time that it has been in existence, the OMCT has supported individuals whose cases have reverberated across international borders. However, above all, and away from the spotlight, it has provided crucial assistance and helped rehabilitate hundreds of people whose lives had been shattered by torture. To this day, these forgotten victims remain at the very core of the Fund’s approach.
