The DOVVSU protects the rights of the vulnerable against all types of abuse, including socioeconomic, psychological, sexual, emotional, and physical abuse. It also creates an effective crime detection, prevention, and prosecution database. Victims/complainants and their families are treated with respect and courtesy. They take statements in a professional manner and give victims information on their cases as well as the specifics of the investigations. Victims receive advice on how to handle their peculiar situations.
