A new website, cours-victimes.fr, was launched on Monday to help victims of violence, both adults and minors, to "break the silence" and to be better supported, "from the facts to the compensation".
It will provide them with "listening" and advice and resources "to get to safety, prepare for legal proceedings, be compensated and rebuild", explain its promoters, the France Victimes association and the Victims Guarantee Fund ( FGV).
Lack of knowledge on the part of the victims
"This new platform aims to fill a void: before, victims of violence had to go to associations for help, now they can do so directly on the site", explained Jérôme Bertin, general manager of the France Victims federation. , which helps 300,000 victims of crimes and offenses each year.
"Too few people know that they can be compensated, and not only after acts of terrorism, but also after violence or scams", specifies for his part Julien Rencki, director general of the FGV, who, on behalf of this public service mission, supported more than 100,000 victims and paid more than 600 million euros in compensation in 2019.
