Q&A

Farías asks panel for helpful navigation experiences and final notes

New York City Council · Sep 30, 2026 · starts 2:16:50 · 1 min 8 sec

Farías says the testimony was thorough and asks for anything helpful or missing. Mildred Ramos urges removing the statute of limitations and preserving rape kits, while Shamara Kelly says anything impacting survivors must include survivors at all times.

Amanda C. Farías

Thank you folks so much.

Amanda C. Farías

I don't have any additional questions because I feel the testimony was very thorough.

Amanda C. Farías

But if there's anything that anyone would like to raise about a service or experience that you found helpful, like navigating through the city resources, that's good for us to know.

Amanda C. Farías

But also, I feel like all of you spoke really wonderfully on how your voice can be included in the decision-making process with the administration.

Amanda C. Farías

But if there's any last notes I'm happy to allow some time to hear it

Member of the Public - Mildred Ramos

I just want to advocate that the statute of limitations be removed, that there be no deadline on justice, and that when it comes to rape kits, that those are preserved.

Member of the Public - Shamara Kelly

Thank you.

Member of the Public - Shamara Kelly

I don't have much because I gave a few recommendations.

Member of the Public - Shamara Kelly

But it's just that anything that impacts survivors, they need to be included at all times.

Member of the Public - Shamara Kelly

That's it.

Member of the Public - Mildred Ramos

Yes, I hear that.

Member of the Public - Mildred Ramos

That's why we're having an oversight hearing.

Member of the Public - Mildred Ramos

Yeah, of course.
