Rape victims often face secondary victimization by the criminal justice system, prompting their advocates to promote a variety of procedural changes, including the provision of an independent legal counsel for victims. Sweden implemented a legal counsel for victims of sexual assault and rape in the late 1980s, yet research about their role remains limited. This article draws upon interviews with victim-lawyers in Sweden and suggests that having access to an independent legal counsel can mitigate the risks for secondary victimization by empowering victims to access their rights and providing emotional support and connectedness in the criminal justice system.

获得权利和减轻再受害：受害者法律顾问在瑞典刑事司法系统中的作用

强奸受害者经常面临刑事司法系统的二次伤害，促使他们的倡导者推动各种程序变革，包括为受害者提供独立的法律顾问。瑞典在 1980 年代后期为性侵犯和强奸的受害者设立了法律顾问，但对其作用的研究仍然有限。本文借鉴了对瑞典受害者律师的采访，并建议获得独立的法律顾问可以通过授权受害者获得他们的权利并在刑事司法系统中提供情感支持和联系来降低二次受害的风险。
