Through These Doors

The week of April 19 to 25, 2026 marks the 45th anniversary of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week (NCVRW), first proclaimed by President Ronald Reagan in 1981. NCVRW is a time-honored tradition
that recognizes the plight of victims and survivors, and elevates their voices so that when they speak, America can listen and learn.

The 2026 NCVRW theme, CommUNITY, emphasizes the “unity in the community” of countless people who support crime survivors – from victim service organizations to criminal justice and mental/behavioral health professionals, to multi-Faith institutions and leaders, and to family members and friends of survivors, among others. No crime survivor should have to endure the burden of victimization alone; there is a strong
community of caring and concerned people nationwide who want to help them.

April is nationally recognized as Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Partners who are physically abusive to their significant other are often sexually abusive as well. This month, we are honoring the experience of survivors and bringing awareness to the intersection of domestic abuse and sexual violence.
