The new EU Strategy on Victims’ Rights should take into account the situation of child victims of crime, in particular violence and sexual exploitation. The needs of the child and the way they experience harm are different from those of an adult. The protection and justice system should therefore be adapted to the age and development of the child.

One in three women in the EU has experienced sexual violence, yet the majority of these crimes go unreported to the police. Providing quality sexual and reproductive healthcare services to victims is crucial for reducing long-term trauma and preventing secondary victimization.
The new Victims’ Rights Strategy should support the effective operationalisation of Member States’ obligations under the Victims’ Rights Directive and Directive 2024/1385 to ensure access to quality and comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services for victims of sexual violence.

Each year, over 250 000 children are reported missing in Europe one child disappearing every two minutes. Children go missing for a wide range of reasons, including violence, harassment, conflicts, abuse, and exploitation. The effects are far-reaching, not only for the missing children themselves but also for their families and communities, often resulting in long-term trauma and broader societal consequences.
We welcome the development of a new EU Strategy on Victims Rights and its focus on strengthening the practical implementation of victims rights. Building on the experience of the INTERACT project, we recommend that the Strategy give greater attention to the intersection between gender-based violence, homelessness, housing insecurity and other forms of vulnerability.
We welcome the development of a new EU Strategy on Victims Rights and its focus on strengthening the practical implementation of victims rights, including through child-sensitive and trauma-informed approaches. The Strategy provides an important opportunity to complement the revised Victims Rights Directive by addressing persistent implementation gaps and promoting consistent standards across Member States.
The new EU Strategy on Victims Rights should focus on closing the gap between rights formally guaranteed to victims and their effective exercise in practice. This is particularly important for victims of serious crimes, including war crimes and conflict-related sexual violence, whose needs often persist for decades after the crime and cannot be addressed solely through their role as witnesses in criminal…
The European Disability Forum (EDF) welcomes the preparation of a new EU Strategy on Victims Rights. Persons with disabilities face a heightened risk of becoming victims of crime, including violence , abuse, exploitation, hate crime and gender-based violence.
I am writing to inform you that it is extremely difficult and almost impossible at times to get any form of Justice in the UK Justice system and important for European authorities to be aware victims of crime are being abused by the British government and its authorities in the UK.
The EU Strategy on Victims’ Rights aims to consolidate the EU framework for the protection of victims of crime, ensuring that their rights are not only protected by law, but also effectively respected in practice in all Member States. It will build on the achievements of the 2020-2025 strategy and address new emerging threats.

Contribution from TI One Voice, Brussels. Attached: "The Silent Massacre" (2nd ed., July 2026), analysing 7,899 testimonies from 357 signatories across some 50 countries. We speak for people who report organised harassment, electronic and directed-energy attacks, and non-consensual neurotechnological interference. We do not ask the Commission to accept any causal claim about these reports.
Victims rights are often great in theory but affected in practice by procedural law, even well-intentioned. In my practice I have identified two major points where victims rights would be strengthened Europe-wide: 1. Guaranteeing an Europe-wide right of private criminal prosecution for the victim. This way, the victim would control the timeline of prosecution, and achieve faster justice than public authorities.

Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed” — you read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
