Victim Rights Movement

The Victim Rights Movement is a social and legal effort that aims to ensure those harmed by crimes receive fairness, respect, and support throughout the justice process. It emphasizes victims' rights to receive information about proceedings, participate in their case, seek restitution, and be heard. The movement seeks to balance the focus of justice systems, which traditionally centered on offenders, by recognizing and protecting the needs and dignity of victims. Its goal is to make the criminal justice process more inclusive and responsive to those affected by crime.
