National Crime Victims' Rights Week (NCVRW) will be commemorated April 24–30, 2022. 

The 2022 NCVRW theme is Rights, access, equity, for all victims. This year's theme underscores the importance of helping crime survivors find their justice by—

• enforcing victims' rights,
• expanding access to services, and
• ensuring equity and inclusion for all.

The 2022 NCVRW Resource Guide contains a wide array of outreach tools and sample materials to help you quickly and capably develop and carry out your NCVRW awareness campaign and other public awareness campaigns throughout the year. Resource Guide highlights include suggestions for raising awareness in your community, sample materials for traditional and social media, a history of the crime victims’ rights movement, and original artwork to unite this national effort.

Join OVC in raising awareness of victims’ rights and services, highlighting programs, celebrating progress achieved, and honoring victims and the professionals who serve them.
