Every April, OVC leads communities throughout the country in their annual observances of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week (NCVRW).
Through NCVRW we honor crime victims and survivors, recognize the professionals and volunteers who provide critical services to victims of crime, and raise awareness about crime victims’ rights and services.
We are pleased to announce that NCVRW will be commemorated April 6–12, 2025, with the theme—
Connecting < KINSHIP > Healing
This year’s theme of KINSHIP is a call to action to recognize that shared humanity should be at the center of supporting all survivors and victims of crime. KINSHIP is a state of being with survivors that drives vital connections and increases access to services, rights, and healing. KINSHIP is where victim advocacy begins.
