THEMATIC REPORT 2017 TORTURE AND MIGRATION Furthermore, poor living conditions also undermine the rehabilitation process for victims of torture. Many of the clients studied in this report live in decrepit housing facilities that are ill-suited for a dignified life. In Cameroon, the data shows that most of their clients, 74 percent, live in poor and unsuitable housing circumstances. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, that figure is close to half, whereas in Mexico it is nearly one-fourth of their clients, although the data was unavailable for many clients. In Serbia, refugees who are housed in reception facilities often suffer because the housing is overcrowded, unhygienic and lacks any sense of privacy. There have also been numerous allegations of physical and sexual abuse at these reception facilities, meaning that clients do not feel safe even when they have fled from their countries of origin.
