The event, held at the Maison du d\u00e9veloppement durable in Montreal, focused on victims of crime who represent themselves in court. <\/p><p>We would like to express our deepest gratitude to our guests of honor<sup>,<\/sup> Elizabeth Corte and L\u00e9a Charbonneau-Lacroix, who brilliantly led the plenary session, revealing avenues for reflection and action to improve support for these victims.<\/p><p>Valuable insights were also provided throughout the symposium by speakers Arl\u00e8ne Gaudreault and Sylvie Gravel, as well as panelists Patricia Akiobe, Emmanuelle Bernheim, Pierre Lain\u00e9, Karine Mac Donald,<sup>Me<\/sup> Marie-Claude Richer,<sup>Me<\/sup> David Searle, and Celeste Trianon, who generously accepted our invitation. Their expertise highlighted the needs and challenges faced by victims who are unrepresented in court. <\/p><p>The AQPV thanks the Quebec Ministry of Justice for its confidence and essential financial support.<\/p><p>Finally, a big thank you to all those present: partners and collaborators from the victim assistance network, the justice system, the research community, public safety and health and social services. Your presence helped make this event an outstanding opportunity to share expertise. <\/p><p> <\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>PROGRAMMING<\/strong><\/p><div><p><span style=\"font-family:
