Chair Farías poses core question on restructuring NGBV under OCS

New York City Council · Sep 30, 2026 · starts 0:02:43 · 18 sec

Farías asks how restructuring NGBV under the Office of Community Safety can strengthen rather than diminish the city's ability to prevent gender-based violence, support survivors, and hold systems accountable.

Amanda C. Farías

So today, as we examine the proposed restructuring of NGBV under the Office of Community Safety, I want us to focus on a fundamental question.

Amanda C. Farías

How do we ensure that this restructuring strengthens, not diminishes, the city's ability to prevent gender-based violence, support survivors, and hold our systems accountable?
