ViSAR – Victim support through alignment of remedies
ViSAR contributes to realising effective, efficient, and coherent application of EU law in the area of rights of victims of crime, focussingon domestic violence in the context of the interplay of Dir 2012/29, 2011/99 and 2004/80 against the background of the IstanbulConvention and priorities of the EU Strategy on victims’ rights (2020-2025).
With a consortium in five EU Member States, ViSAR strengthens cooperation andcoordination among all relevant actors (primarily and direct: justice, law enforcement, public social services, CSOs, legal practitioners incl. restorative justice and psycho-social accompaniment professionals) through mutual learning and exchange events (400 participants) and a newly developed common AI-supported search-and-response platform (1 tool) for victims and service providers. 1 symposium joins min. 50 participants from all target groups, incl. the academic sphere; 2 academic journal publications and 1 book will be published.Mutual learning and professionalisation material (3 sets) – on the Directives, structured psycho-social accompaniment and restorativejustice measures – are developed, tested by the target group members and disseminated across the EU to shareholders (WP5). Resultsof previous projects are integrated and further developed into a comprehensive victim support strategy (1) within the project’s scope.Beneficiaries of ViSAR extent to potential victims of domestic violence, victims of crime, and persons in need with a focus on women,children, and the LGBTQ+ community. For these beneficiaries, ViSAR facilitates access to justice, compensation (through overcomingdefinitory differences and value-based discrimination), focussing on cross-border aspects to strengthen the international dimension ofvictims’ rights (through developing transnational standard model agreements and aligned work-flows).
