Preventing Sexual Violence, Intimate Partner Abuse & Human Trafficking

Within AuthorityHealth1 barrier · 0 statutes

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.

Authority Scope

City HR, city-funded social services, partnerships, training programs

Criminal trafficking enforcement sits with state and federal agencies, while shelter and survivor housing capacity still depend on the broader housing market and provider network.

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

Within-Authority Path · What Orlando could actually deliver

Center the city response on internal policy, frontline training, survivor-service partnerships, and targeted housing support rather than implying control over trafficking prosecutions.
