In 1993, while practicing nursing in the Northern Appalachian region of Colchester County, NS, Canada, Jeanne Sarson and Linda MacDonald could find no literature on how to offer recovery care to women who survived being tortured, trafficked, and who suffered other forms of sexualized exploitation inflicted by their parent(s), a guardian, or a spouse. Fifteen years before the 2008 United Nations Committee against Torture wrote that acts of torture by individuals or groups were a human rights violation, the pair pulled insight from women who suffered torture and traffick via prostitution or pornographic violence and began drafting dozens of publications to shatter the datablind for Northern Appalachia, and abroad.

They resisted populus DARVO smokescreening and denying such violence existed by calling for non-State torture to be the new linguistical paradigm identifying violence against women and that this hatred be officially criminalized. They promote global awareness via their website [www.nonstatetorture.org]( ).
Since 2004, they’ve promoted in-person on panels at United Nations sessions in New York, Geneva, and Vienna. They've co-authored a chapter for the text, Gender Perspective on Torture: Law and Practice, a publication launched at the UN by Ambassadors from Denmark and Norway, in response to former UN Special Rapporteur on Torture Juan E.
