This year’s edition ‘Transforming victim support: from dream to reality‘ is a celebration of the work the victim support community of the EU has done over the last three decades. From providing administrative, legal, psychological support to advocating for victims’ rights and policies, Victim Support Europe’s members have made enormous strides in the advancement of victims’ wellbeing across Europe. The community has many successes in 30 years — however, in the current political climate, the protection and promotion of victims’ rights is more essential than ever. Together, we can learn from the past and create a positive, actionable vision for the comprehensive victim support system in Europe: today, tomorrow and 30 years from now.
