- Assert and uphold your victim’s rights within the criminal justice system by advocating for you. For example: joining you at law enforcement interviews, following up with police, arguing in court, and more
- Getting you legal protection from offenders through protective orders
- Pushing for support, accommodations, and accountability from your employer and/or school (often through Title IX)
- Seeking financial damages from your perpetrator, employer, or school through civil lawsuits
- Taking action against revenge porn and cyber sexual abuse
- Helping clear criminal records for sex trafficking survivors
