Freedom from Torture
@freedomfromtorture.bsky.social
Torture tries to destroy lives. We won't let it. We stand with survivors, providing therapy and support, and fighting for change together.
Melissa will never forget the torture she endured behind closed doors.
But after she escaped and reached safety, Freedom from Torture opened a different kind of door - one to healing.
Your donation can help open the door to life‑changing therapy, and to hope.
