Finance & HR Manager- Survivors of Torture Project - Palermo -MSF Italy

MSF Italy has identified migrant and refugee survivors of torture and other forms of intentional violence (SoT) in the Palermo metropolitan area among the most vulnerable and neglected people.

For this reason, since 2020, MSF has developed a program specifically aimed at this target population through a multidisciplinary model of care (medical, psychological, and socio-legal support); until March 2023, the program has been implemented in collaboration with the Azienda Sanitaria Provinciale (ASP) of Palermo; currently two memoranda of understanding have been signed with the Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Policlinico (AOUP) "Paolo Giaccone" and the University of Palermo with the aim of strengthening the SoT program in both clinical and research components.

The Project also aims to identify SoTs through outreach activities both in formal migrants/refugees' reception centers and informal settlements in the Palermo metropolitan area and to strengthen socio-legal assistance through collaboration with the association "CLEDU" and the University of Palermo (Department of Law).
