Opferperspektive

Opferperspektive has been providing comprehensive and professional counseling for victims of right-wing violence and racial discrimination in Brandenburg since 1998. The central services include:

• Individual Counseling and Support: Psychosocial crisis intervention, counseling, stabilization, and accompaniment of victims, as well as support in filing reports and during investigations and criminal proceedings[2][3][4].
• Documentation and Public Relations: Systematic recording and documentation of right-wing violent acts, as well as information and background on right-wing violence from the perspective of the victims[4].
• Local Intervention and Networking: Support in the local context through discussions with representatives of administration and authorities, assistance in representing the interests of the victims, and networking of victims[1][4].

The main mission of Opferperspektive is to advise and support victims of right-wing violence and racial discrimination, as well as to promote a solidarity counterweight in civil society. The organization advocates for the victims' side and documents right-wing attacks to highlight the extent of the violence[1][2][4].

Opferperspektive is involved in various initiatives to promote a solidarity society:

• Education and Awareness: Through the publication of brochures and handouts, such as "Actually, I feel comfortable here" about everyday racism, Opferperspektive contributes to the education and awareness of the public[5].
• Networking and Training: The organization supports individuals and initiatives that advocate for victims of right-wing violence through counseling, training, and materials[4].
• Legal Counseling and Support: Opferperspektive explains the process of criminal proceedings, accompanies victims to the police and court, and assists in finding a lawyer[3].

Opferperspektive is independent of state authorities and offers free, confidential, and impartial counseling. It supports not only the victims themselves but also their friends, relatives, and witnesses. The organization also advocates for discrimination protection and criticizes political decisions that hinder this protection[2][4][5].

Through its comprehensive services and initiatives, Opferperspektive makes an important contribution to supporting and protecting victims of right-wing violence and racial discrimination in Brandenburg.
