This is in regard to how victim compensation should be dispersed.
1. Please include among relatives available for compensation "those who lost
their life partners as well as de facto parents or children, without regard
to sexual orientation or marital status. "
2. Compensation benefits shopuld be dispersed "on a showing of mutual
interdependence with the victim, in recognition that anyone who shared with
the victim living expenses, day-to-day activities and the emotional bonds of
family deserves help in this time of need."
Please recognize that:
"Our pain is no less.
Our loss is no less.
And our access to justice and equality in the aftermath of this crisis must
be no less. "
