Rights, Access and Equity for All Victims illustrates the 2022 theme for National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, highlighting ways survivors, advocates and allied professionals are helping victims find their justice.

What does justice mean for a child who’s been raped and then is groomed to survive sexual torture, so that people can make money off of that? Because that’s me, and my voice is the sound of justice.

It’s important to make sure our work is survivor centered and that we listen to survivors, and we listen to what they need.

All crime victims have a right to services. All crime victims have a right to heal.

Established in 1981, National Crime Victims’ Rights Week is observed in April and serves as an opportunity to challenge the nation to confront and remove barriers to achieving justice for all victims of crime.

Our partnership with the Office for Victims of Crime to produce special event videos began in 1998. We created a signature style that enables survivors, advocates and allied professionals to provide insight into what motivates them to do transformative work.
