Compendium: Practices of Civil Society and Government Collaboration for Effective Hate Crime Victim Support

Abstract

This Compendium has been created by the the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), in partnership with the Association of Counselling Centers for Victims of Right-Wing, Racist and Antisemitic Violence in Germany (VBRG). The compendium illustrates where co-operation between state and civil society actors is essential for robust hate crime victim protection and support systems and processes. It highlights existing practices of collaboration which are key to ensure hate crime victims are protected, enjoy full access to justice, and receive tailored specialist support. It has been created as part of the Enhancing Stakeholder Awareness and Resources for Hate Crime Victim Support Project (EStAR) [https://www.osce.org/odihr/hate-crime-victim-support].
