Kosova Rehabilitation Center for Torture Victims: Finance

Question: To ask His Majesty's Government what support they have provided to the Kosovo Centre for the Rehabilitation of Torture Survivors in the financial years 2021–25 and what assistance they plan to provide during the financial year 2025–26.

Answer: The UK has supported the work of the Kosovo Rehabilitation Centre for Torture victims (KRCT) to provide medical, gynaecological, psycho-rehabilitation services, as well as legal support and economic empowerment programmes to survivors since 2014. Since 2021 we have provided approximately £1 million with funding for this financial year currently standing at £57,000. This funding helps support KRCT's work to address stigma, enable survivors to speak out about their experiences and help others to seek the justice they deserve, and aims to remove the deadline for survivors to apply for status recognition.
