Proclamation for Victims Rights Week
 
Body
The theme for 2015 Crime Victim Rights Week is  - Engaging Communities, Empowering Victims.  This provides an opportunity to recommit ourselves to extending our reach through a victim centered approach.  By engaging community leaders and our organization in working to support crime victims, we provide new avenues for victims and enhance our ability to serve them.  When we better learn how to meet the needs of underserved victims- and help new communities understand the impact of victimization and the assistance that is available-we expand victims' options.
