Report focuses on challenges facing African American girls
Girls of color face much harsher school discipline than their white peers but are excluded from current efforts to address the school-to-prison pipeline, according to a new report issued by the African American Policy Forum and Columbia Law School’s Center for Intersectionality and Social Policy Studies.
The report, Black Girls Matter: Pushed Out, Overpoliced and Underprotected, is based on a new review of national data and personal interviews with young women in Boston and New York. Read the report here.
