Yes, that's part of it. For many of the people who come to us for help, the events happened a while ago. They aren't recent. Victims may fear reprisal, but in many cases, the events didn't happen yesterday.
It has an impact on the victim's family and the people around them. What happened to the people we see isn't fresh in their minds, so it has less to do with the fear of reprisal. That's not what we see most often at the centre.
