Victims of hate/bias violence generally express the need for:
- to feel safe
- to feel that people care
- to get assistance
These needs are crucial for individuals who have experienced hate or bias-motivated violence. Feeling safe is fundamental for their well-being and recovery. Knowing that people care can provide emotional support and validation for what they have gone through. Getting assistance, whether it be medical, legal, or psychological support, is essential in helping victims cope with the aftermath of such traumatic experiences.
By addressing these needs, victims of hate/bias violence can begin to heal and rebuild their lives with the necessary support systems in place. It's important for society to recognize and respond to these needs to create a safer and more inclusive environment for everyone.
