VicTory
Restorative and victim-centred approach to mitigate hate and (violent) extremism
European funding: € 499,639 funded by JUST-2023-JACC-EJUSTICE European Commission under the Grant Agreement no. 101160555

VicTory contributes to the effective and consistent implementation of legislation and practices that protect victims’ rights, adequately support victims throughout the process and prevent secondary victimisation. Through a victim-centred approach, VicTory provides key practitioners (i.e. criminal justice professionals, victim support workers and case managers) with knowledge and practical tools to better understand and interact with victims of hate crime and (violent) extremism-related incidents. VicTory will also centrally promote and guide the implementation of restorative practices, with the aim of raising awareness and empowering practitioners, communities and victims themselves to successfully engage in them, thus improving victims’ access to justice and key support.

Hence, VicTory’s first objective is to create a victim-centred approach to support victims of hate crime and incidents related to (violent) extremism. The second objective is to improve the effective and consistent implementation of legislation and good practices, such as restorative ones, to uphold victims’ rights and mitigate secondary victimisation. The third and final objective is to improve the skills, intervention, support and cooperation of key professionals (i.e. criminal justice practitioners, victim support workers and case managers) when working with victims of hate crime and incidents related to (violent) extremism. VicTory responds to the priority of the call by contributing to the ‘effective and coherent implementation of EU legislation in the field of victims of crime rights in line with the priorities set by the EU Strategy on Victims’ Rights (2020-2025)’. VicTory will have a direct impact on almost 500 stakeholders.
