Our Executive Director, Piya Muqit, was invited to speak about the redress and rehabilitation of child torture survivors at a workshop organised by the United Nations Voluntary Fund for Victims of Torture (UNVFVT) in Geneva on April 6-7. Marking the 35th anniversary of UNVFVT, the workshop brought together child rights experts and practitioners in the field of torture rehabilitation. Piya shared about our services to protect the rights of torture survivors seeking protection in Hong Kong and explained the importance of UNVFVT funding for our work.
The workshop culminated in a public event on April 8 at the Palais des Nations where Piya spoke alongside other panelists including the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
