Torture tries to destroy lives. We won't let it. We stand with survivors, providing therapy and support, and fighting for change together.
Now, that critical decision - of age assessing children who seek safety in the UK - is set to be outsourced to AI.

The asylum system must NOT be the testing ground for what are currently deeply flawed AI tools operating with minimal safeguards.

For centuries Britain has led the way in forging a ban on torture, and we won’t let politicians tear it up.

Don’t send people back to torture, and don’t send us back in history:

Reform UK recently announced they’d be willing to work with the Taliban to deport people to Afghanistan, putting lives of torture survivors at serious risk.

But thousands of you said, ‘not in my name’, adding your voice to make sure no politician can ever send someone back to their torturers.

States have a legal duty to prevent torture and prevent genocide.

The UK government must lead by example and do everything in its power to do exactly this - and ensure that all perpetrators are held to account.

Justice for survivors depends on this.
