Nadine fled the Democratic Republic of Congo after being tortured because of her ethnicity. Hateful propaganda spread and it quickly turned to violence, giving her no choice but to flee – with no plan, no strategy, no family, no support.
She came to the UK hoping to find safety, and with specialist therapy and support Freedom from Torture helped her rebuild her life.
Today in the UK, Nadine sees growing anti-refugee rhetoric and familiar hateful propaganda leaving many refugees and survivors of torture feeling isolated and unwelcome. Demand for our services remains high in this hostile political climate, and we can currently only support 1 in 3 people referred to us.
Your generous gift today can help other survivors who have been forced to flee access the specialist care they need to recover and rebuild their lives.
