About ENDGBV

VISION:

The Mayor’s Office to End Domestic and Gender-Based Violence (ENDGBV) envisions a City free from domestic and gender-based violence to improve health and safety for all New Yorkers.

MISSION:

ENDGBV supports survivors of domestic and gender-based violence by developing and delivering accessible and inclusive services to survivors, their families, and communities through collaboration with government agencies, community partners, survivors, and philanthropy. We strive to ensure that the City's services and resources reduce barriers, address gaps in service, and create new pathways to safety through program development, legislative and policy advocacy, research, training, community-based initiatives and engagement, and operation of the New York City Family Justice Centers.

The Office was established by New York City Charter in 2001, and its responsibilities and authorities to address intimate partner violence and elder abuse were expanded by Executive Order 36 to include sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking in September 2018. ENDGBV develops policies and programs, provides training and prevention education, conducts research and evaluations, and performs community outreach. The Office collaborates with City agencies and community stakeholders to ensure access to inclusive services for survivors of domestic and gender-based violence and oversees the NYC Family Justice Centers (FJCs) that operate in Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Manhattan, and Staten Island, which see over 5,600 client visits, and serve over 2,300 clients per month.
