The Humanitarian Affairs Unit of the non-governmental organisation Future Worlds Center (leg. reg. as Cyprus Neuroscience and Technology Institute) is pleased to announce that it has been selected for the fourth time by the United Nations Voluntary Fund for Victims of Torture (UNVFVT) to support the work of the Unit for the Rehabilitation of Victims of Torture (URVT) for the year 2013. URVT was created by the Future Worlds Center in June 2006 with funding from the European Refugee Fund and the Republic of Cyprus.
The aim of URVT is to provide rehabilitation services to victims of torture
and trafficking, and to assist them to integrate into the Cypriot society. For
this purpose, the Unit provides such persons and their families with
psychological, legal, and social support. The services offered include social
support related to housing, entry into the labour market, access to education,
social benefits, and healthcare, while the legal assistance is offered in
relation to people's asylum application procedures. Psychological support is
offered in collaboration with psychologists specialising on the rehabilitation
of torture victims.
The offices of the Unit for the Rehabilitation of Victims of Torture are
located in Nicosia and are open daily from 9.00 am to 5 pm. For any information
