U okviru zajedničkog projekta UN-a "Pružanje podrške i pravde za osobe koje su preživjele ratno seksualno nasilje ", IOM je obezbijedio tehničku i stručnu podršku Vladi RS-a u početnim koracima sprovođenja nedavno usvojenog Zakona o zaštiti žrtava torture. U okviru pružanja podrške, u Banja Luci je održan zajednički sastanak između Ministarstva rada, ratnih veterana i zaštite osoba sa invaliditetom Republike Srpske i opštinskih službi kao prvostepenih tijela u procesuiranju zahtjeva za priznavanje statusa žrtvama ratne torture u RS-u. Svi uključeni akteri su učestvovali u obuci o svim aspektima obrade zahtjeva kako bi žrtvama omogućili brz, prilagođen i jednak pristup statusu i pravima, uz edukaciju o ratnoj trauma i prvom kontaktu sa preživjelima. U narednom periodu IOM će nastaviti da podržava obuke i dijalog u pet opština RS: Doboj, Bijeljina, Zvornik, Trebinje i Istočno Sarajevo.
