The city must go further and improve upon support services for victims of domestic and gender-based violence, said Mayor Bill de Blasio in his daily briefings.

“We got to put more resources into family violence prevention services to stop these horrible crimes to begin with. We got to provide more counseling, more benefits to help survivors get back on their feet,” said de Blasio.
