Self-organisation and empowerment in the struggle against silence. Network of Tortured People of Navarre.

Abstract

In 2021, a group of tortured people and their relatives in Navarre started a process of selforganisation that culminated in 2022 with the birth of the organisation Network of Tortured People of Navarre. The process of self-organisation of tortured people in Navarra is an uncommon phenomenon, which can offer interesting lessons especially for torture victims in other countries and contexts. The aim of this article is to describe a survivor-lead experience and to analyse the keys to this process of collective empowerment.
