"The naming of non-State torture is crucial for women's healing"

At FiLiA2025 , Linda MacDonald, Mariane da Cunha, Elizabeth Gordon and Jeanne Sarson presented a panel on non-State Torture. An idea that emerged from this panel was the creation of a Network Against Non-State Torture (NNST), with its official launch on February 3 and a global conference planned in Lisbon in November.

This podcast explores the crime and human rights violation of Non-State Torture (NST), committed by non-state actors, often within criminal informal networks. These include families, as well as networks involved in human trafficking, prostitution, pornography, gangs, and organised crime.
