Primo Levi Center
The Primo Levi Center (in French: Centre Primo Levi) is a care center in Paris for people who are victims of torture and political violence in their country of origin and today refugees in France. These people are seen by doctors, psychologists and a physiotherapist. They can also receive the help of a social worker and a lawyer.
The association also has a training center for the use of people who come into contact with these patients in the course of their work.
Finally, the association tries to testify on the reception conditions and the need for care, in France, for victims of torture and political violence.
The Primo Levi center received in 2004 the Human Rights Prize of the French Republic for its care center, in 2000 the Special Mention for its action with children and in 2013 the Women's Award of the Foundation RAJA for its action with women.
The Primo Levi care center is an Association loi de 1901 created in May 1995 by five militant associations in the field of human rights, health and justice: Action des Christians pour l'Abolition de la Torture, Amnesty International of France, Juristes sans frontières, Médecins du Monde an Trèves.
These five associations are still present on the board of directors.
Torture has devastating and lasting effects, both physically and psychologically. Torture continues to torture long after it has been inflicted, and the trauma affects the whole family, including in the long term and for generations to come.
The Primo Levi care center receives patients for medical consultations, during which the doctors first focus on resolving the immediate health concerns of the patients (most of the time these are insomnia, nightmares, headaches but also various pains resulting from past abuse they may have suffered).
