The United Against Torture Consortium (UATC) operates at a time of mounting global challenges. As conflicts proliferate, authoritarianism rises, and civic space continues to shrink, torture and other forms of ill-treatment remain a persistent reality despite their absolute prohibition under international law. From 2023 to 2026, the UATC worked to confront these challenges by strengthening prevention, protection, accountability, justice, reparation, and rehabilitation efforts, while supporting survivors and the organisations that stand alongside them.
This Impact Report highlights the difference that coordinated action can make. Bringing together six leading anti-torture organisations and a network of partners across 123 countries, the UATC has combined expertise, resources, and survivor-led approaches to respond to crises, challenge impunity, and drive long-term change. The achievements presented in these pages demonstrate how collective action is strengthening the global movement against torture and helping to build a future where survivors’ rights are upheld and torture and other ill-treatment are prevented everywhere.
