Farías asks what areas the city is not considering in preventing gender-based violence. Liz Roberts says the city lacks a comprehensive primary prevention plan across all ages and communities.

Amanda C. Farías

Thank you folks so much.

Amanda C. Farías

I just have two questions for anyone that would like to answer.

Amanda C. Farías

What are some of the areas the city is not considering when it comes to preventing gender-based violence?

Amanda C. Farías

That's my first question for anyone.

Member of the Public - Liz Roberts

I think there should be a comprehensive prevention plan that's much more expansive and ambitious than what we have in place now.

Member of the Public - Liz Roberts

We should be doing primary prevention of gender-based violence.

Member of the Public - Liz Roberts

At all ages and in all communities, and we simply haven't invested as a city in that.

Amanda C. Farías

Okay.

Amanda C. Farías

Any other thoughts?

Amanda C. Farías

Okay.
