"Making a difference to victims, survivors and justice around the globe"
More than a billion people a year are victims of crime, abuse of power, terrorism, man-made and natural disasters.
The International Organization of Victims Assistance (IOVA) exists to mobilize people, organizations and governments to prevent and mitigate the effects of these crimes and catastrophes on victims and communities.
IOVA is founded on the principles of international cooperation and understanding. IOVA expects to achieve its objectives through partnerships with local, national and international organizations.
