Today is “united Nations International Day in Support of Victims of Torture”, this is a action started by “The International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims” (IRCT). The action calls for worldwide attention for the issue of torture and its consequences for the victims under the attention.
And social media plays a big part of.
The IRCT is a global organization that helps survivors of torture to rebuild their lives and simultaneously fights to torture the world to gain. As each NGO the organization is depending on the support of donors and the goodwill of people.
This year, the IRCT points out the issue of torture, its consequences and the fight against it on a larger scale to denounce than ever before. They are doing this by using the media that connect people today and for NGOs to enable the world to mobilize on a larger scale and with greater reach and faster: social media. This is done by the action "World without Torture" which include a Facebook page and Twitter account, the dream of a world that no longer tortured, wants to realize. Sounds like a dream which is hard to reach to me….
There are many people and organizations who have hope and idealism as they became older and saw that life is no fairy tale. And these people who are realistic idealism, energy and have connections in all possible ways to deploy to contribute to a better world. This sometimes happens on a large scale as this campaign and sometimes smaller, local scale.
"World without Torture" is one of the larger operations. The Facebook page of the action is linked to a large community where people can talk about the issues, the stories of victims of torture to be told and of course you can get acquainted with the NGO.
