WEISSER RING e.V.
WEISSE RING e.V. is the largest aid organization for victims of crime in Germany. We have a network of almost 3,000 volunteers on the ground in Germany who provide personal support, human assistance and guidance for people who have got into difficulties through no fault of their own as a result of a crime. In this way, we want to enable those affected to make the right decision for them on the basis of correct information and without fear of costs. We also provide this help online and by telephone.
We also provide information on crime prevention issues and actively campaign for the rights of victims, e.g. politically. With journalistic research, public campaigns and campaigns, we shape the way society deals with the issue of victims.
