What is Torture?

Ang torture ay ang intensyunal na pananakit o pagpapahirap sa isang tao, pisikal man o mental, upang makakuha ng impormasyon, pag-amin, o bilang parusa. Ito ay ginagawa ng sinumang bahagi ng estado o ginawa ng may kaalaman ang awtoridad. Maliban sa pananakit o pagpapahirap, ang tortyur ay maari ring mga aktong hindi makatao, malupit, o magdadala ng kahihiyan sa biktima nito.

Ang mga aktong ito ay madalas nararanasan ng mga bata sa kanilang pang araw-araw ng buhay. Ang mga bata na kabilang sa bulnerableng sektor ay dapat protektahan laban sa torture.

Sino mang biktima ng pang-aabuso, torture at iba pang uri ng karahasan, bata man o matanda, ay maaring magsampa ng reklamo laban sa mga gumawa nito!
