Victim<br />

enforcement/service<br />

providers<br />

• Unaware <strong>of</strong> rights<br />

The TVPA and MD HT law<br />

outlines rights and access to<br />

services for victims. (visas/crime<br />

victims compensation)<br />

You are a victim/survivor, not a<br />

criminal. What is happening to<br />

you is wrong.<br />

Building rapport for first point <strong>of</strong><br />

contact is critical. Be nonjudgmental!!<br />

Immediate services<br />

are crucial.<br />

You have rights. You have the<br />

right to live without being abused.
