The
Torture Abolition and Survivors Support Coalition International (TASSC)
 TASSC aims
to end the practice of torture wherever it occurs and support survivors as they
empower themselves, their families, and their communities wherever they are.
TASSC takes an integrated and survivor-centered
approach to its work with survivors of torture. All of our staff work with
survivors through a trauma-informed and strength based perspective, focusing on
resilience and each survivor’s own strengths as they move toward a brighter
future. We work with, not for survivors as they move toward achieving their
goals. Our interdisciplinary model also allows for coordination of care that addresses
all aspects of a survivor’s wellbeing – from community and social connection, to
legal, psychological, and medical support. TASSC addresses the wide range of
each survivor's physical and emotional needs and offers support at each step as
they find the care and strength they need to recover. For
