Join Girls for Gender Equity and the African American Policy Forum to uplift the voices of young girls of color, gender non-conforming, and trans youth on
Saturday, October 11, 2014 from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM at 435 W 116th Street, New York, NY 10027

Be a part of the community dialogue and response when we ask:

Why are girls of color...

• OVERLY-DISCIPLINED through suspensions, zero tolerance and arrests in school?
• INCARCERATED at the highest rates in history?
• DISCONNECTED from family & community?
• OVER-SEXUALIZED in the media?
• HARMED by abuse, trauma, and violence?
• TRAFFICKED and sexually abused?

And what can we do about it?

On International Day of the Girl, girls will answer #WhyWeCantWait.

Hosted by Joanne Smith, Founder of Girls for Gender Equity and moderated by Professor Kimberle Williams Crenshaw, Founder African American Policy Forum. Join Us!

Childcare and lunch provided for confirmed guests.
