victims' rights advocacy

Victims' rights advocacy involves supporting and ensuring that individuals who have experienced harm or crime are treated with fairness and respect. Advocates help victims understand their rights, access necessary resources, and participate in the justice process. This can include providing information, emotional support, and ensuring they are heard and protected throughout legal proceedings. The goal is to empower victims, uphold their dignity, and ensure that their needs and concerns are considered within the criminal justice system.
