The European Parliament has approved new EU rules to strengthen support and protection for victims of crime. Key improvements include enhancing victims' rights during criminal proceedings, setting up helplines, facilitating online reporting of offenses, providing support services for victims with specific needs, and ensuring protection and support for child victims. The focus is on modernizing legislation to improve victims' rights, enhance protection, and ensure access to support systems. The message is clear: victims' rights are a priority and at the core of the justice system.
