Guidance for victims

If you have become a victim of crime, there are things you can do to keep yourself and your loved ones safe after the crime was committed.

What we do

We spend years, not days, to advance victim support services around the world – until every single victim of crime – even the hardest-to-reach, the most vulnerable, the marginalized – has access to safe and reliable victim support service.

Ongoing campaign

Together we can establish free victim support services for all. Join our campaigns, sign our petitions, lobby MPs and help us influence governments and their policies.
