Preventing Sexual Violence, Intimate Partner Abuse & Human Trafficking
Audit Verdict · Within Authority
City HR policies, training, awareness campaigns, and survivor-service partnerships are deliverable even though criminal enforcement remains largely outside city control.
City can act directly, subject to budget, staffing, and execution quality.
The Promise
Strengthen anti-harassment policy, run public-awareness campaigns, expand survivor shelter and counseling access, train frontline staff, and improve long-term support for survivors.
Analysis
This is a city-deliverable service and workplace plank. The mayor cannot run prosecutions, but City Hall can harden its own workplace rules, train staff, fund providers, and communicate available help more effectively.
Legislative Record
Her strongest related legislative marker is Donna's Law in 2020, which eliminated the statute of limitations for child sexual assault.
Implementation Barriers
A portion of the inventory depends on agencies where the mayor has limited board representation, informal influence, or no direct management authority.
- SunRail is owned and operated by FDOT; weekend service requires state funding
- LYNX is a regional board where the mayor holds one of five seats
- Orange County Public Schools and UCF are independent entities outside mayoral control
