The National Crime Victims' Rights Week is an annual campaign designed to raise awareness of victims' rights and services, highlighting local programs, celebrating progress achieved, and honoring victims and the professionals who serve them. This year's theme --Strength, Resilience, Justice-- reflects a vision in the future in which all victims are strengthened by the response they receive, organizations are resilient in response to challenges, and communities are able to seek collective justice and healing.
