Progressive Abolition of Torture and Hope for Survivors
PATHS INTL is both an organization and a movement. Born from the testimonies of those who refused to be silenced, we now operate across borders and cultures to shine light on hidden abuses and forge tangible pathways to healing and accountability.
Our Story
Torture thrives in silence. PATHS International was born when survivors from conflict zones, authoritarian regimes, and marginalized communities refused to let their suffering be erased. What began as a grassroots network of shared testimonies has grown into a force of systemic change, partnering with the United Nations, local NGOs, and mental health professionals in Cameroon. We amplify silenced voices, dismantle structures that enable abuse, and prove that survival is just the beginning of a story.
Core Values
Survivor-Centered Justice
Survivors lead our strategies, programs, and policies. Their courage fuels our fight.
Uncompromising Accountability:
We expose perpetrators and demand legal, political, and cultural reckoning.
Radical Compassion
Healing is a human right. Our trauma care prioritizes cultural sensitivity, community, and lifelong support.
Global Solidarity
Torture is a universal crime; freedom is a universal demand. We bridge borders to share resources and power.
What We Do
Torture thrives in silence and we refuse to be silent. With over 8 years of action across continents, PATHS International has become a beacon of hope and a platform for lasting change. Our work is not charity; it is justice in motion. Our impact is measured not just in services delivered, but in lives restored, voices reclaimed, and systems transformed.
Advocacy
Establish a robust monitoring and reporting system to document instances of torture, ensuring that all cases are promptly reported to the relevant authorities.
Healing & Rehabilitation:
Fund trauma therapy, medical care, and safe housing through our Hope Network.
Foster peer-led support circles to rebuild trust and agency.
Art and storytelling initiatives to reclaim narratives (e.g., Survivors’ Archive Project).Prevention & Education:
Global campaigns like "BreakTheChain" to expose torture’s root causes: inequality, corruption, and dehumanization.
Educate youth through curricula on nonviolent conflict resolution and human dignity.
