Yesterday was the first day of this year’s National Crime Victims\u2019 Rights Week April 19-25<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Every April, the Office of Victims of Crime (OVC) helps lead communities throughout the country in their annual observances of National Crime Victims\u2019 Rights Week (NCVRW) by promoting victims\u2019 rights and honoring crime victims and those who advocate on their behalf. This year\u2019s NCVRW will be held April 19-25 and the theme Engaging Communities. Empowering Victims. presents the opportunity to highlight the diversity of our communities, expand partnerships to serve victims of crime, enhance efforts to meet victims where they are, and empower crime victims as they pursue justice and recovery.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Department of Justice will kick off the week with OVC\u2019s annual National Crime Victims\u2019 Service Awards Ceremony in Washington, DC to honor outstanding individuals and programs that serve victims of crime.<\/p>\n

NCVRW honors and celebrates the achievements of the past thirty years in securing rights, protections, and services for victims. The bipartisan Victims of Crime Act (VOCA), passed by Congress in 1984, created a national fund to ease victims\u2019 suffering. Financed by fines and penalties paid by offenders, the Crime Victims Fund supports victim assistance and services, such as rape crisis and domestic violence programs [customize to include local services] and victim compensation programs that pay victims\u2019 out-of-pocket expenses such as counseling, funeral expenses, and lost wages. VOCA has also pioneered support efforts for victims of once-hidden crimes such as domestic and sexual violence. Outreach is increasingly focused on previously underserved victim populations, including victims of color, religious and ethnic minorities, LGBTQ victims, and immigrant populations to name a few. Efforts are being made to ensure that all victims, regardless of their background or the crime committed against them, receive the support they deserve.<\/p>\n

\u201cVictim empowerment is a central tenant of our work,\u201d said Joye E. Frost, Director, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), U.S. Department of Justice. \u201cBy engaging the entire community, we are able to maximize and leverage existing resources to better serve all victims of crime and provide the necessary support through their journey to healing. This year\u2019s NCVRW theme emphasizes that we all have a role to play.\u201d<\/p>\n

OVC encourages widespread participation in the week\u2019s events and in other victim-related observances throughout the year.
