In June 2022, San Francisco voters passed a ballot measure that mandated the creation of a Mayor’s Office for Victims’ Rights (MOVR), also known as the Office of Victim Witness Rights, an independent city department designed to represent the interests of victims of crimes. In May 2024, Mayor London N. Breed officially created MOVR when she appointed its inaugural director. In June 2024, the Board of Supervisors moved the existing Office of Sexual Harassment and Assault Response + Prevention (SHARP) to MOVR, thereby including its work to directly serve sexual assault survivors under the purview of MOVR. This is an opportunity to join a small, collaborative team in the start-up phase of San Francisco’s first city department dedicated to serving victims, with an understanding that the concept of “victim support” must include violence prevention given the permeability between perpetrator and victim groups.

MOVR Mission Statement: To advocate for and enforce the rights of crime victims, ensuring fair and just treatment throughout the criminal and civil legal processes. We work to strengthen and oversee a comprehensive network of victim services across the city, with a special focus on those affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, community violence, and hate crimes.

MOVR Vision Statement: A city where every crime victim receives comprehensive support that meets their financial, physical, emotional, and psychological needs, regardless of their engagement with law enforcement or the criminal justice system. We envision a city with a well-funded, integrated network of services that promotes justice and healing for all victims.
