This idea can be expressed verbally a number of ways.
The verb {SIQ} is often used to express experiencing something, often something onerous, unpleasant, or dangerous.
{puy Duj 'e' SIQbogh raQpo' nejlI' chaH}
"They are looking for the passengers who experienced/endured the shipwreck."
{HeS nguHwI'pu', SIQwI'pu' je rIt ghan'Iq}
"The police summoned the witnesses and the victims (lit. experiencers/endurers) of the crime."
Other verbs may specifically indicate the nature of the affliction:
{chaH wIDpu' rop'a'}
"They were victims of the plague (lit. The great sickness indiscriminately killed them)."
Note that {SIQ} doesn't imply a negative experience like the words do in English. One can {lopno' SIQ} "endure a celebration" or {qep'a' SIQ} "endure a grand meeting".
If what victimizes you can be thought of as hunting you, you might use {gheD} 'prey'.
{HejwI' gheD vImojbe'meH, qaStaHvIS ram, veng yoSmey 'op vIjun}
So that I do not become a victim [lit. prey] of robbers, I avoid some districts of the city at night.
