🔗 Call for entries: Short film competition to mark the Day in Support of Torture Victims

Each year, IRCT centres and programmes commemorate the UN International Day in Support of Victims of Torture through events that highlight the importance of preventing torture and providing rehabilitation to torture survivors. Previously, the IRCT had two 30-second television spots produced: “You can do something to stop torture” and “Let’s erase torture”. We are looking to expand our portfolio of TV spots by sponsoring a short-film competition. Anyone with an interest in helping to promote the vision of the IRCT is welcome to enter.
