It’s the 41st anniversary of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week (NCVRW), commemorated April 24 – 30, 2022. We join the Department of Justice’s Office for Victims of Crime in raising awareness of victims’ rights and services, highlighting programs, celebrating progress achieved, and honoring victims and the professionals who serve them. If you or someone you know is a victim or survivor of crime and in is in need of support services on St. Croix, please call the Women’s Coalition of St. Croix at 340.773.9272.

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