💡 Background information about the expert organisations:
Weisser Ring is the only nationwide victim support organisation in Germany. The victim support provided by Weisser Ring is based on the idea of offering free help to victims of crime. The victim support workers provide one-to-one assistance in a voluntary and professional capacity. They have diverse life and work experience and are trained to act as contact person and guide so as to recognise each victim’s situation and provide suitable assistance.
Victim and Witness Support Service Croatia was founded in 2006 with the primary goal of improving the position of victims and witnesses in the trials, as the victims and witnesses often lacked information regarding both their rights, and the role they will have during the trial. Today, the organisation continues its mission and works to help decrease the feelings of discomfort a victim or witness may feel when participating in the trial and to improve legal, economic and social positions of victims and witnesses in Croatia.
