Mission & Interests

Goals: Victim Support Europe is strengthening the rights and services for all victims of crime in Europe and beyond. The organisation aims to ensure that every victim in Europe and world-wide can access information and support services in the aftermath of a crime, regardless of where the victim lives or where the crime took place. Victim Support Europe also works to ensure that victims are respected, have access to their rights and are able to make their voice heard throughout the criminal justice process. National, European, and international actors increasingly turn to Victim Support Europe as they develop their victims’ rights laws, policies, and services. Work continues, on developing new models, measures, and solutions, to improve and implement rights for victims of crime.

Activities

Main EU Legislative Proposals: DIRECTIVE 2012/29/EU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 25 October 2012 establishing minimum standards on the rights, support and protection of victims of crime, and replacing Council Framework Decision 2001/220/JHA
Communication Activities: As of 2020, actions and laws for victims have been well established for many years – we are not starting from scratch. Multiple Directives, Conventions, Recommendations and commitments exist at the EU, Council of Europe and UN level. For the EU, these establish specific, enforceable obligations on Member States to ensure rights and services for victims. Despite progress, these laws are far from being fully implemented. To make victims’ rights a reality, requires a concerted, comprehensive effort. In particular, clear evidence and evaluation is required to demonstrate what the status quo is and what is or is not in place. Using this evidence as a baseline will support corrective action, development of relevant policies, laws, best practices etc. It will also empower VSE, victim organisations and the European Commission to advocate for change. This is why, in the next five years, we will continue working towards mainstreaming of victims’ rights into all elements of our work. 1) Strategic priorities: 1.
