This year, the event is part of our campaign: “116006 Helpline: One Number. One Standard. Equal Support for Every Victim.” It’s a moment to celebrate the courage of victims and frontline professionals, and to push for harmonised, high-quality support for all victims across Europe.
💡Meet policymakers, victim support experts, law enforcement, and helpline operators in person. The programme will take you on a journey from personal stories to systemic solutions:
- Victims Voices: hear real experiences from victims who have reached help through helplines.
- Operational Excellence: explore how EU-wide 116 Numbers work, from Missing Children Hotlines to emotional support services.
- Spotlight on Helpline Standards: learn how minimum standards improve safety, quality, and victim experience.
- Technology and Practical Solutions: see innovations from 106006 helplines across Europe.
- Future Directions: discover the roadmap for harmonised, high-quality victim support EU-wide.
One of the event highlights will be the 116006 Helpline Pledge, where professionals, organisations, and citizens show their commitment to equal, accessible, high-quality support for every victim. Every signature counts, and the results will be presented at the event to demonstrate Europe-wide momentum.
