Draft directive and petition

The European Union is currently debating a new law to give victims stronger rights to support and services.  Recently it’s become evident that the negotiations are threatening to substantially water down the new rights for victims. We need to do all we can to stop this happening.

You can learn more about the new draft Directive establishing rights, support and protection for victims of crime at www.ec.europa.eu/justice/policies/criminal/victims/docs/com_2011_275_en.pdf

I am asking you to please sign our European Petition calling for strong rights for victims at www.change.org/petitions/european-parliament-give-eu-victims-of-crime-access-to-stronger-rights-and-support-services

Thank you very much

David McKenna,

President Victim Support Europe
