Rep. Angela Romero, D-Salt Lake City, wanted to get one message across to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault: “We believe you.”
Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall, law enforcement, state lawmakers and advocates discussed implementation of new laws during a roundtable on Friday.
“It takes someone maybe seven times before they leave their abuser,” Romero said. “We as a state, as elected officials, have to be patient with people and let them know that we believe them, that they can trust us and that there’s a safe space and there’s an option for them to leave that situation.” House Minority Leader Angela Romero, D-Salt Lake City, listens to remarks on the first day of the Utah Legislature, Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2023.
