Victims Rights for Youth
Youth
Identifying youth as victims is crucial. We use clear and simple messages to explain their rights, just as we do for adult victims. We also briefly address their emotions and how to respond to them in healthy ways, while introducing the basics of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) methods, which are now being used in schools. Additionally, we provide essential resources to help ensure they are in safe environments and know where to turn for support. An empowering tool designed to support children during difficult times.
Images
We intentionally crafted the messaging using everyday examples and an educational tone, ensuring that it remained neutral and informative. This approach provides clarity and understanding without triggering distress for survivors. Additionally, by avoiding explicit details or victimizing language, the final product is designed to be safe even if left in a setting where a perpetrator could see it. The emphasis is on education and awareness, making it a valuable tool for raising understanding while protecting the dignity and safety of all involved.
