The Massachusetts Office for Victim Assistance (MOVA) is seeking proposals for engaging workshops to be conducted virtually during Victim Rights Month in April 2026. The series of workshops commemorate victims' rights, build awareness, and highlight victim services provided across the Commonwealth. All Victim Rights Month workshops will be open to the public and benefit survivors of crime, victim service providers, and leaders working toward advancing victim rights and providing accessible and equitable services across Massachusetts.

All workshops will take place via Zoom. MOVA will provide the platform and technical assistance for presenters.

Proposals are due by 5:00 PM on Friday, January 30th, 2026. If you have any questions or would like an alternate form of this document, please email MOVA@mass.gov.
