Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
This project will train 250 defenders, enabling them to collectively represent millions over the lives of their careers. In turn, this will spawn a generation who values – and fights for – the presumption of innocence and the abolition of torture.
Project Message
For the first time in history, we have a roadmap for the systematic prevention and abolition of torture. Please join us and help make this dream a reality.
- Karen I. Tse, Founder and CEO, International Bridges to Justice
