Honoring Survivors of Crime and Advancing Their Rights
2026 Field-Generated NCVRW
LEARN MORE AND JOIN THE MOVEMENT
El 2026 Field-Generated NCVRW was a celebration of CommUNITY, where partners across the nation stood side by side to uplift dignity, safety, and healing. Together, we created something stronger than any one of us could build alone.
“I love NOVA’s NCVRW events and this year was no different! The speakers and content are all so inspiring and help me improve my response as an advocate.”

More about The Field-Generated NCVRW Observation
The Field-Generated NCVRW is a collaborative, survivor-centered observance that takes place during National Crime Victims’ Rights Week each April. Organizations, advocates, survivors, and communities across the country participate in events, education, and awareness efforts together.
Yes. The Field-Generated NCVRW takes place alongside the national observance led by the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). Both efforts support victims’ rights, survivor healing, and community awareness.
Absolutely. Many organizations and advocates participate in both throughout the week.
Activities may include virtual, hybrid, and in-person opportunities depending on the year and participating organizations.
Because healing, advocacy, and change happen strongest when communities come together to support survivors and one another.
