Women’s rights advocates and rape survivors called for the NYS Assembly to pass two gender-based violence bills aimed at protecting women and children on Thursday.
“What is difficult to understand is why his office doesn’t engage more with the advocates and survivor leaders who are pushing for important legislative changes,” Ossorio said. “We are reasonable people.

“It often takes survivors two years to realize that they’ve been trafficked,” she said. “For the first two years, they think that their pimp who’s been beating them up is their boyfriend. Then it takes another three years for them to get their mental health needs met, housing, their physical care. It is only then that they’re ready to work with law enforcement.”
“Under New York law, a person who becomes voluntary intoxicated can not seek the same justice for rape as someone who has their drink spiked or is slipped some other type of drug without consent,” he said. “This is called a voluntary intoxication exclusion. Let me be clear – intoxication is not consent.”
