DIGNITY - Danish Institute Against Torture (formerly RCT short for Rehabilitation and Research Centre for Torture Victims) is a self-governing institution independent of party politics located in Denmark.
[1] DIGNITY employs professionals from several fields such as medicine, economics, anthropology and others; it runs a clinical research centre, creates policies and accumulates information to provide knowledge on torture and change the practice in order to abolish torture.
[2] Rehabilitation and Research Centre for Torture Victims was formed on 30 October 1982, about a decade after the beginnings of the organised international anti-torture work.
[3][4] The founders were doctors who used the premises of the neurological department of the Copenhagen University Hospital to treat torture victims in 1980-1982.
[5] On 30 October 2012 RCT changed its name to DIGNITY - Danish Institute Against Torture.
