Moving victims of violence from crisis to confidence ... Safe Horizon’s mission is to provide support, prevent violence, and promote justice for victims of crime and abuse, their families, and communities. For over a quarter of a century Safe Horizon has been at the forefront of helping victims of crime and abuse through their crises. We are woven into the fabric of New York City, and we are here where and when you need us – in the courts, in your community and at the other end of a telephone at any hour of the day or night.

Survivors should never be turned away from safety. The NYS Legislature passed the SAFE Shelter Act, which allows funding to shelter single survivors. Join us to tell Governor Kathy Hochul to sign #SAFEShelterNY to ensure safety for ALL survivors!

I'm looking for a new Assistant General Counsel. Please share widely! It's an interesting opportunity for a relatively new lawyer who wants to support a large social services nonprofit with amazing, passionate colleagues and an inspiring mission.

"As we have seen in numerous high-profile cases in recent years, for far too long, men in positions of power and wealth have felt they were “above the law”. We stand with Cassie Ventura and the other survivors who are courageously speaking out about violence and exploitation they have suffered. And we fiercely support the right of all survivors to be heard, to be believed, and to seek justice. At Safe Horizon, we worked tirelessly to pass the Adult Survivors Act and the Child Victims Act so that survivors would have more pathways to justice, recognizing that trauma takes time, and that speaking out against a powerful abuser is always an uphill battle. We will continue to fight for legislation and systems reform that pave the way to meaningful accountability. And we will continue to be here for survivors at every stage of their journey,” said Liz Roberts, Safe Horizon CEO.

We're proud to highlight Olga Rodriguez-Vidal, MPA, Safe Horizon's Vice President of Domestic Violence Shelter Operations, in our Leader Spotlight for #HispanicHeritageMonth! Born in the Dominican Republic and raised in Puerto Rico, Olga immigrated to the United States as a child, where she learned English by watching The Electric Company, Sesame Street, and television commercials while enrolled in school. A proud Caribbean Latina, Olga has spent over 16 years at Safe Horizon, leading our shelter programs and creating safe spaces for women and children. Her dedication and expertise are invaluable to our mission as she continues to be a fierce advocate for survivors of domestic violence. We're honored to have her as part of our Safe Horizon community.
