Imagine that you are playing with your toys, and someone comes and takes one of your toys away from you without asking. You would feel sad and upset about it, right? But what if that person took something very important, like your favorite toy or a toy that belonged to your family for a long time? You would probably feel even worse.
Victims' rights are all about making sure that if someone does something wrong to you or your family, you have the right to feel safe and secure, and that your feelings and needs are taken seriously. When someone is hurt or harmed, they become a victim, and it's important to make sure they are treated fairly and with respect.
Victims' rights mean that you have the right to have someone listen to you when you tell them what happened, and to be given information about what is going on with the person who hurt you. You also have the right to have someone help you feel better, such as a counselor or a therapist. Sometimes, you might have to go to court to talk about what happened to you, and victims' rights means that you have the right to be heard in court and to be protected from the person who hurt you.
Overall, victims' rights are all about making sure that you are safe, heard, and respected if something bad happens to you, and that people who hurt others are held responsible for their actions.
