Survivor's Rights

Survivor's rights are the legal protections and entitlements given to individuals who have experienced domestic violence, abuse, or harassment. These rights typically include safety measures such as restraining orders, access to legal counsel, and protection from further harm. Survivors also have the right to report abuse, seek emergency assistance, and receive support services like counseling. The law aims to empower survivors, ensure their safety, and hold offenders accountable, while respecting their privacy and dignity throughout legal proceedings.
