The article highlights significant cuts to funding for victims' services, raising concerns that without immediate additional resources, the justice system may fail to support victims adequately. The Victims' Commissioner, Baroness Helen Newlove, warns that these cuts jeopardize vital services that help victims recover and pursue justice. As organizations like Rape Crisis and Victim Support scale back operations, thousands of victims may struggle to receive necessary assistance, undermining governmental commitments to combat violence against women and girls. The call for urgent funding increases reflects an existential crisis for charities aiding victims.
"The need for victim support services has never been greater, yet these services are facing an increasingly precarious position."
