Our mission
Shams works for the dignity of survivors of detention and families of the missing, and their right to support, truth and justice. We want their voices to be heard and for them to help define the support they need.
This introduction is a draft for organizational review. Program descriptions explain proposed areas of work; they do not confirm that a particular service is currently available.
