National Crime Victims’ Rights Week kicks off this Sunday, April 19th. It is a time to honor survivors, recognize the professionals who support them, and reaffirm our collective commitment to justice. Established in 1981 by presidential proclamation, this annual observance emerged from the victims’ rights movement to ensure that individuals affected by crime are treated with dignity, respect, and compassion within the justice system.

At Child Justice, this mission is at the heart of everything we do. With critical support from the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA), we provide free, trauma-informed civil legal services to children and protective caregivers impacted by abuse and family violence. During this week of remembrance and advocacy, we celebrate the progress made, acknowledge the work still to be done, and reaffirm our commitment to protecting children and promoting justice for all.

We've had quite a few new followers join our page recently, so we wanted to share a bit about what Child Justice does for children in Maryland - and beyond. Welcome. We’re so glad you’re here. 💙

At Child Justice, we stand with children and protective caregivers navigating some of the most difficult situations imaginable - cases involving abuse, domestic violence, and coercive control in family court.

Every day, children’s safety can depend on what happens in a courtroom. Too often, they don’t have a voice. That’s where we come in.

Through free legal services, advocacy, and education, we work to protect children, support the caregivers and parents fighting for them, and help break cycles of abuse - so every child has the chance to grow up safe, supported, and heard.

By joining us, you are part of the change. Want to do more?

Together, we can build a future where every child’s safety comes first. ⚖ 💙

75% is too high. That's the percentage of low-income Marylanders who face at least one civil legal issue in a year. These are issues that affect housing, safety, and health. The need is overwhelming, underscoring the urgent necessity of legal aid services. Justice shouldn't depend on what's in your wallet.

We’re on a mission to make justice accessible to everyone.

We are proud to share EMPOWERED, a collaboration from the Maryland Access to Justice Commission and the Maryland Legal Services Corporation, with support from Maryland Legal Aid, highlighting the life-changing impact of civil legal aid.

Without counsel, civil legal cases such as evictions, custody disputes, or denial of benefits are often unsuccessful. Civil legal aid flips the outcome, giving Marylanders the support they need to protect their rights and move forward with stability and dignity.

“What stands out the most is that they (Child Justice) didn’t just provide legal services, they gave us hope. They fought for our safety, our stability, and our future…”

-Kasey, 2025 Heroes of Child Justice Awardee and Keynote Speaker

“Today, our connection to Child Justice is fueled by gratitude and lived experience. We know what it feels like to be children in the middle of an unfair situation. And we know what it feels like when someone says, “you matter and we will fight for you…”

- Chas, 2025 Heroes of Child Justice Awardee and Keynote Speaker
