- Although it's difficult to estimate the exact number of migrants who experience torture and intentional violence in the attempt to reach Europe, official reports, investigations, and thousands of testimonies reveal that violent practices against migrants are widespread in many transit countries along the #Mediterranean route. Torture, in various forms, is a common element of the #migration experience for thousands of people who eventually reach #Europe after enduring excruciating ordeals.
Since 2021, MSF runs a project in Palermo, #Italy, to assist with personalized rehab programs torture survivors with migratory background. Angela (fictitious name to protect her identity) is among the more than 200 patients the MSF team has assisted in #Palermo. She has completed her psychological treatment path; she is living in Italy and has started a new life.
