Planned — phase 3
Survivor Justice Navigator
This does not exist yet. Here is exactly what it will be, so that you can hold us to it — and so that nobody arrives expecting a tool and finds a brochure.
The first screen
It will ask one question: what would be helpful right now? Not what happened, not when, not who. The order of those two questions is the entire design argument.
- Understand my options
- Find support or counselling
- Report to police
- Understand victim rights
- Find legal information or counsel
- Obtain records
- Document what I remember
- Protect a child currently at risk
- Seek institutional accountability
- I do not know yet
How it will work
- You choose a goal. Nothing is required before this point.
- You optionally narrow by country, then province or territory. You can skip this.
- You get plain-language next steps, official links, service categories and realistic timelines.
- You can print or save the result locally. Nothing is stored by us.
- You can back out of any step, and abandoning it costs you nothing.
No graphic narrative will ever be collected. The Navigator will not have a field for describing the abuse, because it does not need one to do its job.
What has to happen first
A guided pathway is only as good as the resource database underneath it, and a wrong phone number on a page like this is worse than no page at all. Before this is built we need a verified provincial and territorial routing matrix, a maintenance commitment for it, and legal review of every rights statement.
