Victim-centered approach

A victim-centered approach prioritizes the needs, well-being, and rights of individuals who have experienced harm or trauma. It emphasizes providing support, ensuring they feel safe and respected, and allowing them to participate actively in the process. This approach shifts the focus from solely investigating offenders to understanding and addressing the impact on victims, promoting healing and justice. It recognizes victims as key stakeholders and aims to empower them, while respecting their dignity and choices throughout the process.
