In May 2011, the European Commission launched the ‘Victims’ Package’ – a collection of proposals for better protection of the rights of victims in the European Union. The proposals reinforce existing national measures with EU-wide minimum standards, so that any victim can rely on the same basic level of rights regardless of their nationality and the location of the crime (within the EU).

La Strada International criticizes that migrants with an uncertain legal status are not included within the directive.
