April 18—24 is National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, and this year’s theme is “Support Victims. Build Trust. Engage Communities.” To recognize this important week, we sat down with Genny Maze and Brooke Lindley from Equality Michigan’s Department of Victim Services to discuss how they work daily to support LGBTQ+ victims of crime in their state.
They shared their experiences providing support, advocacy, and community-building on behalf of LGBTQ+ families like their own in the state of Michigan.
