The participating centres EU Member States EUROPE The questionnaire was sent to a total of 80 centres in 30 countries in Europe, North America and the Pacific region. Out of a total of 80 centres, 24 responded to our questionnaire. This amounted to a response rate of 30 percent. However, two responses from Europe were a nil response, i.e. they did not have the expertise to provide answers as the centres did not work directly with asylum-seekers.48 In total, IRCT received a response from at least one member centre in 18 of the 30 countries covered. By region, IRCT received completed questionnaires from all countries in North America and the Pacific regions but only from 14 countries in Europe. Within the latter, ten responses were from EU Member States (including one accession country), and four from non-EU countries (this includes two EU candidate countries).49 The following countries and IRCT member centres are represented in the report: Country Centre Bulgaria Assistance Centre for Torture Survivors (ACET) Croatia Rehabilitation Centre for Stress and Trauma (RCT) Finland Centre for Torture Survivors in Finland (CTSF) at Helsinki Deaconess Institute France Parcours d’Exil - Accompagnement Thérapeutique des Victimes de Torture Germany non-EU states NORTH AMERICA Medical Care Service for Refugees Bochum (MFH - Bochum) Hungary Cordelia Foundation for the Rehabilitation of Torture Victims Ireland SPIRASI - The Centre for the Care of Survivors of Torture Italy Hospitality and Care for Victims of Torture, Italian Council for Refugees (VI.TO/CIR) Netherlands PACIFIC Berlin Center for the Treatment of Torture Victims (bzfo) Institute for Human Rights and Medical Examination (iMMO)* Psychological Centre South Netherlands (RvA NL) Sweden Swedish Red Cross Centre for Victims of War and Torture, Malmö Armenia Foundation Against the Violation of Law (FAVL) Kosovo Kosova Rehabilitation Centre for Torture Victims (KRCT) Moldova Memoria Medical Rehabilitation Center for Torture Victims (RCTV Memoria) Turkey SOHRAM-CASRA Centre of Social Action, Rehabilitation and Readjustment Canada Réseau d’intervention auprès des personnes ayant subi la violence organisée (RIVO) Advocates for Survivors of Torture and Trauma (ASTT) USA Northern Virginia Family Services (NVFS) Program for Survivors of Torture and Severe Trauma (PSTT) Survivors of Torture, International Australia The Victorian Foundation for Survivors of Torture Inc.- Foundation House (VFST) New Zealand Refugees As Survivors New Zealand (RASNZ) * iMMO is not an IRCT member centre. 20 / Recognising victims of torture in national asylum procedures
