Safe spaces are very valuable
Victim support organisations help victims of criminal offences cope with their situation, which is often new to them and can be very burdensome. Olivia Sarma heads one of these organisations and describes in this interview the type of support they offer.
Many victims feel unsure about filing a criminal complaint
Victims of violent offences can turn to institutions such as the Charité’s Outpatient Clinic for Protection against Violence in Berlin to have evidence secured anonymously. In the interview, Dr. Saskia Etzold explains how this taking of evidence takes place and what can happen afterwards.
Reduce the burden on witnesses
Many witnesses must appear in court for the first time in their lives. To help them cope better with this situation, there are counsellors like Shanti Vodjani. In the interview, she explains where her support sets in.
It’s all about the search for a common denominator
Victims of criminal offences have the possibility of having their conflict with the offender resolved through out-of-court mediation. Johanna Muhl is head of a service bureau for victim-offender mediation and explains in this interview how that procedure works.
