Crime victim advocacy

Crime victim advocacy involves supporting individuals who have experienced crime, helping them navigate the aftermath of their trauma. Advocates provide emotional support, guide victims through legal processes, and help them access resources such as counseling and financial assistance. They work to ensure victims' rights are upheld, educate them about the criminal justice system, and connect them to community services. This advocacy empowers victims, helping them regain a sense of control and rebuild their lives following a crime. Overall, the goal is to provide support and assistance tailored to each victim's unique needs and experiences.
