Supporting the designation of the week of April 21 through April 27, 2024, as "National Crime Victims Rights Week".
HRES 1168 is a symbolic resolution designating the week of April 21-27, 2024, as "National Crime Victims Rights Week." It supports existing efforts to recognize crime victims and survivors, emphasizing their right to dignity, support, and inclusion in justice systems. The resolution highlights the 2024 theme - "How would you help? Options, services, and hope for crime survivors" - to encourage victim advocacy and policy engagement. It does not create new programs but reaffirms commitment to funding existing victim assistance through laws like the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) and Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).
