Recent developments in the world, particularly public uprisings in Arab world against the many long standing leaders who battle to stay in power, might add to the number of people that suffer from torture and other forms of cruel treatment. I would like to congratulate all colleagues and courageous peoples in the region for their struggle for social equality and human rights.
Thousands of ISHHR members that work with survivors of gross human rights violations assist individuals and communities to overcome the impact of their traumatic experiences and regain control of their lives. For colleagues that work in remote or conflict areas, there is often no support or resources at all to deal with this. That’s why ISHHR’s 9th Capacity Building Workshops and Conference on Health and Human Rights is a unique opportunity for all of us from around the globe to share knowledge and experiences. The upcoming four day event in
It is our passion to help create a world without torture and we work hard to expand the knowledge available to colleagues that deal with human rights violations and its consequences in the turbulent world today. We are currently looking for partners that may wish to sponsor a particular workshop, donate towards scholarships for third world participation or the involvement of women delegates.
Please contact Janset Berzeg at ISHHR Secretariat coordinator@ishhr.com in confidence to support this international event.
An affordable selection of accommodation options will be soon added to this website for your convenience, along a with tourist information.
I hope to see many of you at the 9th Capacity Building Workshops and Conference in
All the best,
Secretary General
