Protections for Victims' Right to Privacy

Consistent Advocacy Practices

When a center and advocate consistently uphold victims' right to privacy, others will be more likely to respect that right. Enforcing clear, comprehensive center policies and procedures helps consistently maintain confidential communications. Advocates who are aware of victims' local, state, and federal privacy rights have additional tools to use to protect victims' privacy and to help victims protect their own privacy.
