The panel — Combatting Intimate Partner Violence — featured Judge Judy Harris Kluger; Executive Director, Sanctuary for Families; Nechama Bakst, Senior Director of Family Violence Services, Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty; Dr. Alana Morgan Ramjit, Computing Innovation Fellow, Clinic to End Tech Abuse (CETA) at Cornell Tech; and Bea Hanson, Senior Advisor, New York City Mayor’s Office to End Domestic and Gender-based Violence.
“One in four women are physically abused by intimate partners, and one in seven men,” said Hanson. “Here in New York City…there’s approximately 200,000 domestic incidence responses by NYPD every year. About half of them are intimate partner violence and the other half are family violence cases…about 80 percent of survivors nationally don’t go anywhere for services.”
Listen to the panelists discuss the safety net of services that are available and how service providers are trying to connect with survivors, in the above video. Also find a complete list of speakers and their biographies.
