The Massachusetts Office for Victim Assistance (MOVA) is an independent state agency devoted to upholding and advancing the rights of crime victims.

We strive to provide innovative victim advocacy through outreach and education, policy and program development, direct service, legislative advocacy, and grants management.

Our commitment lies in reaching all victims, while ensuring access and equity of rights and services to underserved communities. By bridging public, private and community organizations, we work to serve crime victims, their families, and witnesses to violence, while promoting healing and justice.

After an inspiring hearing before the Joint Committee on the Judiciary on March 4th, S.802 has excellent momentum and is currently being considered for passage.
