A reception was recently held in honor of National Crime Victims' Rights Week by the Fort Bend County Crime Victims Response Team.
Attendees were welcomed by the Fort Bend County District Attorney’s Office at the event and two guest speakers, as well as survivors who were once victimized by violent crimes, spoke out about the realities victims face and their post-trauma experiences.
“These survivors’ life stories encourage all of us to be vigorous in the work we do to identify the criminals who commit violence and to hold them accountable,” said Fort Bend County District Attorney John Healy.
