POSCOHR – Portuguese Speaking Countries Observatory on Human Rights, was founded in 2015 to work on scientific research and academic knowledge in the promotion and protection of Human Rights worldwide, but essentially in Portuguese speaking countries. POSCOHR is a rights-based association operating in the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Coimbra which, in partnership with other stakeholders, seeks to address human rights issues, namely by using forensic science and medicine, as well as law and social sciences.   It is part of POSCOHR' methodology to provide training, both theoretical and practical, to do research, as well as to assist decision-makers, practitioners, victims, etc., namely on proposing law reforms, on providing technical training and on supporting processes of rehabilitation, treatment and social reinsertion and inclusion of victims of human rights violations, such as refugees/migrants, torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatments and punishments.
