Victim Support Asia in collaboration with Centre for Criminology and Victimology, National Law University Delhi, will hold the Second International Conference on the theme “Mapping Victim Support Strategies in Asian Region” on 9-10th November, 2024. VSA was set up with the aim to ensure that all victims of crime across the Asian region have access to rights and services that address their needs, whether they report the crime or not. To advance the interests of victimized people, VSA brings together governmental agencies, criminal justice agencies, practitioners, academic researchers, experts, and other professionals involved in victim issues. The National Law University's enduring commitment for safeguarding and fostering the interest of victims is reflected in this year's hosting of the second annual conference with the objective of bringing together international experts for discussions and presentations on strengthening the rights and services for all victims of crime in Asia.
As one of the fastest and largest growing economic centres of the world, Asian countries have undergone significant changes in their social landscape. Across the Asian region, criminal justice systems are attempting to adapt and cope with such changes. Any discourse on criminal justice, however, would be incomplete without factoring victim justice. As the responses of Asian nations towards the needs and requirements of victims of crimes are increasingly adapting to their unique social, economic, and cultural circumstances, mapping these responses becomes foundational for securing the ends of justice for victims of crime.
Keeping these developments in mind, the Conference seeks to examine the nature of victim support strategies that exist in different Asian countries. The Conference is a unique opportunity to further the academic discourse on victim justice by identifying, analysing and inspecting the successes and shortcomings of diverse victim support strategies; collating the experience of front-line professionals; and, setting the agenda for future developments in victim support strategies and policies across Asia and the world.
