WomensLaw serves and supports all survivors, no matter their sex or gender.
If you are an adult or minor victim, you can apply on your own or with the help of a lawyer, or the prosecutor can apply on your behalf even if there is not a criminal case or police report. Also, the parent/guardian of a minor child or adult ward victim can apply on his/her behalf.1
