Finding Our Way: Developing a Community Work Model for Addressing Torture
We outline the parameters for the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation's (CSVR's) approach to community intervention for torture and cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment (CIDT) as it emerged towards the end of 2011.
