The Gender Motivated Violence Protection Law covers a wide range of NYC institutions beyond jails, schools, and hospitals. If you were sexually abused by someone acting in their institutional role — whether a professor, foster parent, coach, or other authority figure — this law may provide a path to justice. We investigate claims involving universities, foster care, athletic programs, and other organizations.

When evaluating claims involving this type of institution, we look for the following:

  • You were enrolled, placed, or participated at an institution in New York City

  • The abuser was acting in their institutional role when the abuse occurred
  • You can identify the abuser by name or detailed description
  • You know the approximate time period when the abuse occurred
