Gonzalez-Rojas said the bill, if enacted, would allow New York to join 43 other states that enable a person to pursue an order of protection through a civil, not criminal or family, court.

Currently, a victim’s only options are to "call police or pursue a criminal process," she said Thursday.

"This bill offers something deeply important: a civil pathway to safety," Gonzalez-Rojas said. "It gives survivors control and access to an order of protection without forcing them into a criminal legal system that they may not trust, may not feel safe engaging with or simply do not want to rely upon."
