Background:

  • Understanding of torture has expanded to include poverty, politics, and psychosocial factors influencing vulnerability.
  • Rehabilitation for torture survivors now extends beyond medical and psychological care to socio-economic support.
  • Livelihoods are integral to a survivor's sense of purpose and identity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the intersection of livelihoods loss and torture.

  • To advocate for the documentation and integration of livelihoods into torture assessment and rehabilitation.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and conceptual framework development.
  • Analysis of existing evidence on livelihoods and torture.
  • Exploration of survivor-centered, holistic, and safety-focused approaches to livelihood restoration.

Main Results:

  • Livelihoods loss is a significant factor associated with torture.
  • Integrating livelihoods support into rehabilitation programs is crucial for holistic recovery.
  • Sparse but existing evidence supports combining livelihoods rehabilitation with psychological and physical interventions.

Conclusions:

  • Livelihoods are a critical, yet underexplored, component in conceptualizing and treating torture survivors.
  • Effective livelihood restoration must be survivor-centered, holistic, evidence-based, and safety-focused.
  • A foundational framework is proposed for integrating livelihoods into torture treatment and rehabilitation.
