Since 1981, National Crime Victims’ Rights Week (NCVRW) has challenged the Nation to confront and remove barriers to achieve justice for all victims of crime. During NCVRW, we recognize the accomplishments of the victims’ rights movement and reflect on how far we have come.
Every April, The Office of Justice Programs, Office for Victims of Crime, leads communities throughout the country in their annual observances of NCVRW. In 2026, we will observe NCVRW on April 19–25, with the theme—
Listen. Act. Advocate.
Protect victims, serve communities.

Use the 2026 NCVRW theme posters in two sizes—11" x 17" and 22" x 28"—to raise awareness about victims’ rights and services.
2026 NCVRW Theme Colors
This year’s theme colors are inkwell blue, poppy, and harbor blue. Use these colors in your awareness materials to draw attention to your community’s observance.
