A Resource for Intervention Workers From Diverse Backgrounds
This guide is intended for various audiences, all of whom share a common goal: to simplify the legal process for marginalized and/or vulnerable people. Therefore, it is of interest to those who work with survivors of sexual assault, to members of the police force and the Directeur des poursuites criminelles et pénales (DPCP).
