Victim Rights Law Center
About
The Victim Rights Law Center is a nonprofit legal organization that provides free, comprehensive civil legal services to sexual assault victims in Massachusetts. Its attorneys help survivors safely stay in, or safely leave, their homes, schools and jobs, protect their privacy, and address other civil legal issues that can follow an assault. Its representation is survivor-centered, and its vision is a culture that honors dignity and choice in how survivors heal and rebuild their lives.
Beyond direct representation, the center has a national reach. Its Training and Technical Assistance team draws on the attorneys’ experience representing survivors to help lawyers, legal advocates and campus professionals across the country better serve survivors of gender-based violence. The organization also advocates to expand justice for survivors and shape the national conversation on sexual violence. Volunteers can get involved through pro bono programs, and the center hosts a training conference.
