“Criminalizing sexual assault by healthcare providers who claim to be providing treatment or counseling, investing in services that support survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. But we know that no law can undo what these brave survivors have endured. But These changes do do something important. They make our laws better. They make our communities safer. And they tell every survivor that Massachusetts believes you and deserves and knows that you, you deserve justice. To everyone who shared your story, who testified, who kept showing up even and always when it was difficult, thank you.” (08:21–08:30)
