- Summary
- Pro Refugia has identified numerous challenges related to access to compensation. For example they noted a lack of empathy among prosecutors and judges for the victims, expected to be partly caused by the fact that trainings for legal professionals do often not focus on revictimization by the criminal justice system, the impact of trauma of PTSD and or the relevance of psychological reports when assessing the damage.
