Victim Support Malta director Roberta Lepre is serving her last day with the organisation, after nine years of dedicated work on improving the lives of victims.

Victim Support Malta is an independent non-profit organisation with the aim of assisting victims of crime through the criminal justice system. Dr Lepre is an established lawyer and made the announcement of her stepping down as director via social media. She wrote:

“Today marks my last day serving as Director of VSM. Over the past nine years, I have worked relentlessly to give victims of crima a stronger voice and to demand that their rights are upheld and that they are supported in a dignified manner. Things have started improving a little, but much more needs to be done.

“I am proud to say that VSM is now a strong orginsation which can carry on working towards this important mission. I thank all my collaborators but most of all the victims themselves, who taught me so much.”
