We need to support crime victims now more than ever. That’s where NCVLI can help.
When a person is denied their legal rights, it can have profound and life-altering consequences.
It has long been recognized that legal representation improves outcomes in our justice system. Despite this, there remains a significant resistance to victims having independent counsel in criminal cases.
Your gift will support our nationwide efforts to actively promote comprehensive and enforceable legal rights for crime victims.
Accessing Justice Shouldn’t Require Victims to Risk Everything.
When a child is sexually assaulted, reporting the abuse to law enforcement can result in loss of privacy and other legal rights for the child and their parents.
This is not a hypothetical.
In a case NCVLI is working on, a child and their undocumented immigrant parents faced extreme risks because the defendant sought to access their private information.
Fortunately, NCVLI is working with a long-time partner to to help this family access justice without sacrificing their rights.
Before the highest court in the state, we emphasized that undocumented immigrants are among the most vulnerable to crime, and once victimized, they face significant barriers to accessing justice and a high risk of re-victimization.
We pointed out that Congress created the U Visa to redress this situation by offering protection to victims and their families while also promoting a law enforcement response.
Victims disclose intimate details in their visa applications. We pointed out to the court that not only does federal law make the application confidential, but state constitutional rights to dignity, privacy and protection also protect the application.
Every victim deserves a well-trained, well-supported no-cost attorney working with them. And every victims’ rights attorney deserves to have NCVLI’s legal power behind them.
This case is pending, but you can help countless other victims and their families.
