Victim advocacy groups are organizations that support individuals who have experienced crime or trauma. These groups provide resources, guidance, and emotional support to help victims navigate the aftermath of their experiences. They often assist with legal processes, connect victims to counseling services, and raise awareness about issues like domestic violence and sexual assault. In addition to direct support, victim advocacy groups work to influence public policy and improve the justice system. They aim to ensure that victims' rights are protected and that their voices are heard. By educating the community and lawmakers, these groups strive to create a safer environment for everyone.
