Survivors (Victims) of crime are defined as those who suffer out of a crime and for no fault of their own. Being a survivor (victim) of a crime can be a shocking and harrowing experience. The trauma of victimization can have a devastating impact on crime survivors (victims) and their loved ones; especially children. The survivors (victims) and their families go through tremendous stress and suffer financially, socially and psychologically.

When the dependents of survivors (victims) include children; they find it difficult to continue their studies due to financial constraints since the family have to meet the treatment expenses.
