Hargitay said, Since Hargitay received these letters from women, she knew that she had to use her platform to do something really special. Her character, Olivia Benson, was heavily involved in rape and domestic violence cases in New York; in many episodes she defended the women, because she knew the trauma that they had experienced. The women that watched the show felt a connection with her, which led them to send her letters because they thought she could do something with them. She in fact did; Hargitay became a certified rape counselor. With this, she was able to talk to these women, make them feel better and let them know that they are not alone; she helped the victims to be able to live their lives again.
