Lawyer Richard Korver @jeadvocaat finds the compensation of the Dutch government for victims in youth care no recognition, but an insult: Youth care sexual abuse victims receive the same 5000 euro as someone who received a slap once.

@jeadvocaat "At school we have been taught we must first apologise as well promise to never do it again. The promise is missing from these ministers. Where is the plan of action that should prevent abuse in the future? Where are the new protocols and rules?"

- @jeadvocaat
@jeadvocaat The Dutch government recently apologised to the many Dutch citizens who have been assaulted or abused as children in youth care since 1945. All victims receive 5000 euros. A sexual abuse victim receives the same compensation as someone who was spanked.

Sexual violence is still widespread in Europe.
It's time governments take action and listen to victims.
We are here to fight with them.
