 A safe space for healing and support

The term “victim” means a person who has suffered direct physical, emotional, or pecuniary harm as a result of the commission of a crime.

In the United States, in Europe, in Australia, in Asia and in more countries “victims” are expressly afforded certain rights and services to assist, during and in the aftermath of the commission of that crime. For these reasons, within this site, authors still make extensive use of this term.

Adopting survivor and trauma-informed approaches, should not conflict or compete with the provision of assistance entitled to victims.

Break the silence, find healing, protect others

Raising awareness – providing support
