Coalition for Crime Victims of Monroe County is dedicated to helping crime survivors find their justice by enforcing victims’ rights, expanding access to services, and ensuring equity and inclusion for all.
The term “victim” is more than just a label and has legal standing and protections that go along with it. Victim service providers, advocates, law enforcement officers, attorneys, and other allied professionals can help survivors find their justice by enforcing these rights. Equity and inclusion are fundamental prerequisites to survivor care and survivor-led services. These services provide victims with opportunities to share their experiences and essential blueprints for support. Offering every victim of crime assistance opens up more options for facilitating healing and empowerment to direct their own recovery.
“While the names of perpetrators often make news headlines, we mustn’t forget the victims and survivors of crimes who may experience trauma for the rest of their lives,” said Monroe County Executive Adam Bello. “Thank you to the Coalition for Crime Victims of Monroe County for all they do to help victims and survivors of crimes, ensuring they get the help and support they deserve.”
