The Redress Trust Limited

Who we are

REDRESS is a human rights organisation that helps torture survivors obtain justice and reparation. REDRESS works with survivors to help restore their dignity and to make torturers accountable. We continue to progress hundreds of torture cases, work with partners throughout the world to support survivors and carry out joint advocacy and built capacity. In so doing, we promote the universal values of tolerance, respect for human dignity and the rule of law.

Our aims:

1. Obtain justice and other forms of reparation for survivors of torture

2. Hold accountable the governments and individuals who perpetrate torture and related international crimes, contributing to strengthening the rule of law and to eradicate the practice of torture

3. Develop the means of ensuring compliance with international standards and securing remedies for victims.REDRESS uses the law to seek justice and reparation for survivors of torture, to combat

impunity for governments and individuals who perpetrate it, and to develop and promote

compliance with international standards.

REDRESS is a human rights organisation that represents victims of torture to obtain justice and reparation.

We bring legal cases on behalf of individual survivors, and advocate for better laws to provide effective reparations.

Our clients are often from profoundly marginalized communities: refugees, exiles, women, children and LGBTI. Many are members of groups who have escaped conflict and live in exile within their communities, who find themselves with nothing while trying to deal with the life-changing physical and pyschological impact of their ill-treatment.
