Bronx City Council Member Althea Stevens (C.D. 16) joined survivors of abuse that allegedly occurred in youth detention centers across the City, on Tuesday, April 30, along with other elected officials, to announce the filing of more than 150 civil lawsuits made possible by a law passed by the New York City Council in 2021, which extends the statute of limitations, granting survivors of gender-motivated violence an additional two years to pursue civil actions.
