SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES ACCESSING VICTIM COMPENSATION
As part of CSSJ's access to victim compensation campaign, we created this video storytelling project to hear directly from survivors about their experiences with victim compensation. On the following screens you will be given a few prompts to help guide your video responses.
Feel free to write them down to make sure your video covers all of the talking points.
Our members sharing their stories are vital to this campaign, which is why we want to hear from you.
Every shared story helps raise awareness of the challenges of accessing victim compensation, inspire policy change, and expand community support for survivors.
