Crime Victims Day (Dzień Ofiar Przestępstw) is observed in Poland every February 22, coinciding with the European Day for Victims of Crime, which has been celebrated since the late 1980s. The day was established by a statute adopted by the Sejm on February 12, 2003, with the aim of improving the situation of crime victims and ensuring their rights are upheld. It marks the beginning of Crime Victims Aid Week, a campaign that offers free legal assistance to victims of crime, organized primarily by the Ministry of Justice of Poland. The observance emphasizes the importance of monitoring the status of crime victims and taking action to support them. A list of locations where victims can seek help is available on the Ministry’s website.
