Thank you, madam clerk and um, very happy to welcome supervisor ronen Public Safety this is called by here go ahead. Good morning, everyone first, i want to thank supervisor stefani and supervisor melgar worked with me and for our collaboration and support on this very important issue. I also want to thank the department and the Department Staff who are present to this issue and important discussion. In 2018 when i was vice chair of this committee and called for a hearing an City Departments handling of criminal Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment this was after several survivors of rape preached my office to share horrible experiences of sorry in an attempt to receive justice against their assassinates at the time a wave of serious concerns about complaints that the sfpd complaints that the sfpd officer items. With respect to agenda items, your opportunity to address the commission will be afforded when the encouraging them from filing and will followup with cases and more. At the hear the San FranciscoPolice DepartmentDistrict Attorneys Office chef what we learned what the department if have adequate equipment to handle those urgent matters and survivors of the the to no recuse of Sexual Assault were discounted by City Departments. In response to many hearing he joined the survivors nonprofit advocates and my former aid the survivor herself and a long term director the united against violence a nonprofit focused on violence against communities including Domestic Violence and we metaphor months to design and creates what has become the office of Sexual Harassment and assault response and prevention sharp , and presentation as possibly sharp our vision for sharp the office in the country the first with the city the survivors can a come and feel safe and supported to address the trauma theyve experienced and is staff advocates were helping to navigate an United Airlines friendly system and stand by hero side and help with the dptsd that historically had been very unfriendly we imagined after walking there many cases the office will identify patterns where the city could improve and imagined the sharp office will improve the experiences for survivors and 40 forever survivors who didnt want to engage we aiding the trauma to do this work we give the sharp to call power to discover how they handled a particular case if if working fails to apply and worked with the unions and the we must do more and sharp was not meant to be an office but we met with the City Departments but an office that held city workers and others to task and helped to improve sharp took San Francisco into the 21st century and didnt hear like its your word against his to move on and something that many survivors heard many, many times no, it secret this despite this office my survivors continue to feel that reporting Sexual Assaults is even more trauma than the incidents it we have to yet to make changes to the City Departments that make them more effective we need to pass this 6 years have passed since the establishment of sharp and accomplish everything we envisioned i want to be clear the hearing is not to place blame but it is meant tobacco a forwardlooking hearing and just to be clear, despite remarks from the Mayors Office sharp is not we are giving up on the Police Officer crafted office that can and will make a difference especially, if implemented. The purpose of hearing to examine had we have learned and a what has changed in anything incidence is 2018 hearing the hearing is understand how are we going do work Going Forward and what challenges are in the way of Supportive Housing survivors. In a african and respectful way as possibly i said during my introduction of this hearing we want to know how San FranciscoPolice Department and the District Attorneys Office engage with the survivors. I also wanted to know how complaints are made that annually and what policy recommendations if any the office made we move to support and understand the challenges the office has getting up and running we can help. I will say you were front i intend to move the sharp to a new new and improved office for witness rights with the focus and the legislative a lot intent the office will be new and to better think what supporter sharp needs to help the department. If implemented correctly i believe this also encourage more survivors to come forward and report rape and Sexual Assaults. Without those reports perpetrators free to recommit crime one of every two 0 women in the United States experience Sexual Assault in their lifetime and better port for the sharp for the work they do to individuals especially transand other providers of Sexual Harassment commend the sharp for the Amazing Services in the area and heavily that by moving sharp for the i victims right will continue this work and expand the work that was originally envisioned we couldnt avoid those conversations in the matter how inner comfortable too much at stake to be status quo and an opportunity to make reform before i hand if im going to turn it over to my colleagues to make introductory remarks if necessary want to i time to read the testimony of from a mother in San Francisco um, about her daughter who was raped and didnt receive the attendance that she would expect from the Police Department and their grander drought 13 years old was raped very much issues that are current right now today. Im going to read this in spanish and then read it in english. speaking foreign language. speaking spanish. in english i have written the tenderloin here in San Francisco, california since 1998 he apparent the law and authority in the year 2005 my daughter was born, however, in 2019 my daughter was raped i reported to everyone it was incredibly disappointing despite messages and other vicks to date the individual is on the loss now on sunday twentyfour hour an older individual raped my 13 year old granddaughter and the individual is still free and the police have not arrested him women we deserve respect and now like to ask from my colleagues if this i have any ongoing remarks.
