We are a grassroots group educating Arkansans about victims’ rights and resources at the local, state, and national levels. Our work focuses on providing information about victims’ rights, support resources, and service providers. Arkansas does not have a constitutional amendment that makes victims’ rights enforceable. A link to Laura's Card www.laurascar.ar.gov
We provide free trainings regarding victims' rights, trauma, suicide prevention, neurobiology of trauma, adverse childhood experiences, domestic violence, and child abuse. Many of the founders and advocates of Victims' Rights Arkansas are lived peer survivors who have experienced the journey through the court system.
The following are some highlights of our decade plus work with the survivors/victims, policy makers, law enforcement, victim service provider agencies, community partners and the entire state of Arkansas!
