In the light of this well known saying that ‘Prevention is better than cure’, BRCT has put special emphasis on the preventive side rather than its curative side since its very inception. Basically, it is not the motto of BRCT to rehabilitate the torture victims only, rather it is the main objective of BRCT to eradicate torture throughout Bangladesh which is only possible by creating a sense of self consciousness among the mass specially among the professionals in the form of mass mobilization against torture and animating human rights. In actual fact, there is no alternative than to play an active role by the local professionals for the prevention of torture.
For this purpose, BRCT in collaboration with physicians, journalists, lawyers, teachers, social workers wants to form a local Task Force against Torture (TFT) with a view to protecting people from torture in all the districts of this country firstly, through dialogue; secondly, imparting training; thirdly, organizing them to increase their solidarity and educating them.
It is not possible to achieve success unless all classes of people take active part in any of the social movement. The doctrine for the prevention of torture is briefly called, ‘Integrated Preventive Approach (IPA)’ where people of different professionals such as journalists, physicians, lawyers and social workers are aware of the fact of fundamental rights of the people as per the country’s constitution, which is the introducer of highest law, universal declaration of human rights, UN Convention Against Torture etc. and side by side others different preventive programs like fact-finding & urgent appeal, view exchange, training & seminars, different publications, of ‘Door to Door Campaign Against Torture’ (DDCAT), etc. are involved for the active participation by means of which they are developed as the ‘revived professionals’. Basically, the above preventive programs work together for the prevention of torture at the very grassroots and one separate program is not sufficient to eradicate torture and organized violence from the community/society rather than work jointlyIn the light of this well known saying that ‘Prevention is better than cure’, BRCT has put special emphasis on the preventive side rather than its curative side since its very inception.
