United
Nations International Day in Support of Victims of Torture
26 June 2006 (from IRCT)
Theme: Support the UN Voluntary Fund for Victims of Torture
This year's common theme of 26 June is the need for rehabilitation and the need for adequate and sustainable funding to the United Nations Voluntary Fund for Victims of Torture, UNVFVT. After the EU the Fund is the biggest donor to rehabilitation centres and programmes worldwide, but still, there are requests from centres and programmes for double the resources available. Therefore, the need to commit governments to support the Fund is urgent.
