More About National Crime Victims’ Rights Week

Since 1981, National Crime Victims’ Rights Week (NCVRW) has challenged the Nation to confront and remove barriers to achieving justice for all victims of crime. During NCVRW, we celebrate the accomplishments of the victims’ rights movement and reflect on how far we have come.

Every April, the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) leads communities throughout the country in their annual observances of NCVRW.

This year NCVRW will be observed April 21–27, 2024. The 2024 NCVRW theme is Options, Services and Hope for Crime Survivors.

The 2024 NCVRW Resource Guide is now available to help you raise awareness about victims’ rights, protections, and services in the months leading up to NCVRW, during NCVRW, and throughout the year.
