Victims of crime have progressively gained their space in criminal proceedings. Driven by legal instruments emanating from major international organisations, the national legislations of most of the Member States of the European Union have enshrined a set of rights designed to ensure that victims receive treatment based on respect and recognition, to enable them to pursue their legitimate interests and to give them a more active role in the process. In Portugal, although the procedural figure of the assistant already allowed the victim to intervene in the process, albeit with some limitations, there have been profound legislative changes in recent years, namely the introduction of the status of victim and the status of victim of domestic violence. However, at the same time that they strengthened the position of victims, these two normative frameworks brought about an unequal treatment whose reason for being is not always acceptable.
