The World Organization Against Torture (OMCT)
The World Organization Against Torture
(OCMT) is the world's largest coalition of non-governmental
organizations fighting detention, torture, summary and extrajudicial
executions, forced disappearances and other forms of violence.
Its global network comprises nearly 300 local, national and
regional organizations which share the common goal of eradicating
such practices and enabling the respect of human rights for
all. The aim of OMCT's Violence against Women Programme is
to raise awareness of the problem of violence against women
among the members of the SOS-Torture Network and the United
Nations bodies to take action on behalf of the victims of this
form of violence.
