The Kosova Rehabilitation Centre for Torture Victims (KRCT)

Based in Pristina, the Kosova Rehabilitation Centre for Torture Victims was established in 1999 to provide psycho-social support to Kosovar survivors of torture and trauma during the 1998-99 armed conflict. KRCT continues to offer rehabilitation to survivors of wartime sexual violence, refugees and asylum seekers in Kosovo, while providing psycho-social and legal services to repatriated persons, including minorities. Through advocacy efforts, KRCT aims to influence the overall human rights agenda, in particular criminal justice reforms and the prevention of torture and ill-treatment, while monitoring places of deprivation of liberty, including detention centres, police holding cells, and mental health and social care institutions.
