April 12 @ 10:00 am
The Courage Walk is a time to honor the strength and courage of survivors in the aftermath of crime – and a time to speak out in unison for crime victims’ rights and services today and in the future. This year’s theme “Options, services and hope for crime survivors”, celebrates the progress made by those before us as we look to the future of Crime Victim Services that is even more inclusive, accessible and trauma informed.
This event celebrates over three decades of extraordinary progress made on behalf of millions of victims since the passage of the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA). This commemorative week has been set aside since 1981 to honor crime victims and the first responders, advocates, counselors, and others who assist them in their time of need, as well as the law enforcement personnel who work to bring offenders to justice.
We envision the day when 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.
