The United Nations designated June 26th as it marks when the UN Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishments came into effect in 1987. Yet in 2024, over 30 years later, torture continues to permeate societies around the world, despite it being an international crime. The Arizona International Rescue Committee’s Safety & Wellness Department invites you to honor Survivors of Torture by participating in a multi-visual gallery, made in partnership with survivors living in Arizona. We hope that this experience helps educate on who survivors of torture are, what they have experienced, and what services are available to them.

Join us for a Multi visual gallery where you can learn about the injustice faced by many, client stories and their resilience, and how International Rescue Committee (IRC)- Phoenix is supporting survivors in their journey.
