The dangers of an authoritarian regime don’t end with liberation or exile—no place is ever completely safe, though some are safer than others. Living in constant fear undermines recovery, making it essential to rebuild a sense of safety. Physical security is not just protection—it’s the foundation for healing and moving forward.

Through its Political Prisoners Support Team, WLC offers support via online sessions to help strengthen this process.
