Resource from the National Black Women’s Justice Institute and Schools for Girls of Color Learning Network
“The Youth Advisory Committee of the Schools for Girls of Color Learning Network recognizes that U.S. schools are not providing necessary mental health supports for girls and gender-expansive youth of color. The advisors have drafted a document of demands that are fundamental to focus and learning. Schools’ recognition of these demands will accord girls and gender-expansive students of color the rights of dignity and respect that are inherent to all human beings.”
