A/HRC/25/60/Add.1 (e) Ensure that victims obtain redress and fair and adequate compensation for violations of their rights, including the means for the fullest rehabilitation possible, establish mechanisms and programmes within the national health system to provide all victims with rehabilitation, and fund private medical, legal and other facilities, including those administered by NGOs, that provide medical, psychological and social rehabilitation. 107. With regard to assistance by international and regional mechanisms, the Government could consider: (a) Inviting the Special Rapporteur on Prisons and Conditions of Detention of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights to follow up on the present report, which would constitute a good practice; (b) Inviting the special procedures mandate holders on violence against women and the right to health to follow up on cross-cutting issues, such as female genital mutilation, domestic violence, practices in witch camps and the realization of access to medical treatment, that the Special Rapporteur was unable to address in the present report; (c) Encouraging donations from the international community to support the United Nations Voluntary Fund for Victims of Torture so that it can consider requests for assistance from NGOs that work to ensure that persons who have been tortured have access to medical care and legal redress. 23
