The pandemic made it difficult for survivors of domestic violence to get help or to find safety. But there are advocates in the city courts and state legislature offering support.
Judge Wendy Million at the City’s Domestic Violence Court not only helps victims, but also offenders.
Million and her team often assign offenders to mental health and substance abuse classes. She then schedules review hearings to hold them accountable. Her court also works with the Emerge Center Against Domestic Abuse to give support to victims and their families. Million says she’s dealing with more cases now than ever before. The city’s domestic violence court has around 1400 open cases, with 2000 still awaiting trial.
